Several photos also feature men in uniform on the beach, providing a glimpse into life in Hawaii just one year after Pearl Harbor. Also included are several shots of native Hawaiians living in huts with their children and paddling out on the water in traditional outrigger canoes.

A series of other photos are from a sorority picnic with several young men and women gathering on the grass. With extensive captions capturing their travels, the photo album offers a unique glimpse on Hawaii in the wake of Pearl Harbor and the lives of military men and women outside of the war.
