Alcan Highway Collection

1942

A summer view of a U.S. Soldier standing behind a sign next to a road at left seen disappearing into the forest in background. Lettering on the sign reads," CANADIAN-ALASKAN, MILITARY HIGHWAY, FORT NELSON 360 MILES". This sign stands in approximately the same location as another sign seen in a different photo in the collection indicating the start of construction on the Ft. St. James to Ft. St. John section of the Alcan Highway as evidenced by the two spruce trees behind the soldier. It also appears to be the same soldier as in the earlier photo.
