April 1942
Description:
Caption on back reads: "These American sisters of charity were photographed as they left the Yukiang Mission Church to flee to the hills when they received word that a revenge bound army of Japanese was approaching. These Japs were out to slay, burn and loot in reprisal for the aid given American fliers by Chinese in Kiangsi province when the aviators landed there after bombing Tokyo and other Japanese cities in April, 1942. The photo is one of a series brought out of China by priests of the Vincentian foreign missions."
