WWII Manila Walled City Ruins Photo 1945 Philippines Snapshot Wilson Buddy

Description

View WWII Manila Walled City Ruins Photo 1945 Philippines Snapshot Wilson Buddy with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The reverse is inscribed in period ink: "Wall[ed] City Manila 1943 / Wilson & Buddy.". Note: the scale of destruction shown is consistent with the Battle of Manila (February–March 1945), which devastated Intramuros; the inscribed "1943" may be a later recollection error, so we're dating the image circa 1945 while preserving the original caption as written. Vintage snapshot as shown. Original black-and-white snapshot, 4" x 3.5" with deckled edges. Shows two men standing before the heavily bomb-damaged ruins of a large building, identified on the reverse as the "Walled City" (Intramuros), Manila. The reverse is inscribed in period ink: "Wall[ed] City Manila 1943 / Wilson & Buddy." Note: the scale of destruction shown is consistent with the Battle of Manila (February–March 1945), which devastated Intramuros; the inscribed "1943" may be a later recollection error, so we're dating the image circa 1945 while preserving the original caption as written. No visible military insignia is present on either man, so their unit or service cannot be confirmed from the photo.
