		The Photos of Charles Lewis Adams

	Charles Lewis Adams was a studio photographer from Winchester, KY before entering the Marines during World War II. The museum has obtained a collection of Adams photographs. We are in hopes that our viewers might be able to identify some of these photos of Marines taken on Emirau Island in the Pacific. His job was to take aerial photographs for bomb damage assessment. But while on the island, Louie took numerous photos of his fellow soldiers, equipment, airplanes, and island inhabitants. See the photos.
