The following 27 photos are just a few of the two hundred or so of Abalone Island and Clam Island during WWII.  I believe all the following photos are of Abalone Island, however a few of the soldiers on the beach may be from either Abalone Island or Clam Island.  All photos are from the Johnson Collection at the Isabel Miller Museum of the Sitka Historical Society.  I have written all the captions are am responsible for any errors.
