Dumping packs in neat rows, Chinese infantry column halts at Maingkwan. Field kitchen is set up under corrugated-iron roof of burnt-out building in the background. Before the war Maingkwan had a population of 1,000 natives. The helmets are British, standard issue for Stilwell's Chinese.

Chinese soldiers rebuild emergency bridge over stream within a long gunshot of front down the valley
Chinese artillerymen fire American 75-MM howitzer down Hukawng Valley road, probing for retreating Japanese. At left is an American liaison officer.
Chinese and pack animals move down hot, dusty road through Maingkwan, largest settlement in the Hukawng Valley
Carrying everything they own on shoulder poles, three Chinese casuals hike through Maingkwan clearing on way to the front. The Chinese are the greatest walking troops in the world. The Chinese 8th Route Army once walked 6,000 miles in 368 days, fighting as it went along.
Bulldozer widens narrow road in the Hukawng Valley behind the advancing Chinese. Wrecked trucks at right were abandoned by refugees fleeing Burma in 1942. They have been stripped by Japanese and riddled in passing battles. Note solid mass of bamboo and hardwood beside road.
Dropping supplies to troops in forward areas, C-47 dumps part of load without parachutes. Jungle airstrips are marked for identification from the air by parachute-silk numerals.
Roadside barbershop is set up by Chinese artillerymen in cover of jungle thicket. Unfailing good humor of Chinese impressed Stilwell's American officers. Their favorite words are ting hao, which roughly means okay, and fantung, a jibe something like American "gold brick."
Using Japanese flag for an apron Chinese artillery man eats his bowl of rice in the jungle. After finishing, he removed flag and cheerfully wiped his mouth with it. Some of Stilwell's Chinese are as young as 14, few are older than 25. Their average weight is about 110 pounds.
Watching trail which leads into road, alert Chinese sits behind a British Bren gun. Great danger of fighting is to be cut off by enemy raids which circle main forces on trails. Woods are still full of Japanese who dispersed as Chinese came down road.
Generals Stilwell left and Merrill.......
A group of engineers talks with native laborer in the rain. At left, like a row of strange tropical plants, are other natives crouched beneath rain-capes. Rains of Burmese "Chota" monsoon (30 inches last June) have softened surface of road into layer of glutinous mud, but it is still passable to heavy traffic. One of General Pick's main objectives was to build road which could be used in all kinds of weather. Where original road traveled through soggy valley bottoms, new road was often re-routed to higher, drier ground.

One of Pick's men stands by a sign outside "Hairy Ears Clinic" which list a few private American names for the alien diseases of the jungle.
A Jeep labors to pull out another mired up to the axles. Road passes through Hukawng-Mogaung Valley, where the jungle is thickest.
Two lanes wide along this stretch, cuts straight through jungle toward hazy horizon. Narrow trail of old road may be faintly seen at right as it wanders among trees. Aerial pictures were made on a rare sunny day.
