Description: A photo of river Hooghly and Kolkata from a 1945 GI photo album, GIs in Calcultta, 1947: its description is, "Hooghly river and part of Calcutta's east bank. but for this [giant] stream Calcutta would likely never have been built---and for that matter, many of us [would] just as soon it hadn't. Nevertheless the river affords many spectacles and has accomodated millions of tons of supplies necessary to the war effort."
