Unofficial views: Phillip Neal
Phillip Neal was in the U.S. Army 341st Engineers General Service Regiment, constructing the Alaska Highway from Dawson Creek to Fort Nelson, B.C. He also served in Whitehorse at Northwest Service Command Headquarters where he was in charge of vehicle maintenance for the Alaska Highway and the Canol project, 1942-1945. Mr. Neal donated his collection of films, slides, and sound recordings to Yukon Archives in 1993. The slides are organized in the form of a slide show that is narrated by Mr. Neal on his sound recording. The complete slide show, including 140 photographs, is presented here along with the transcribed sound recording (Yukon Archives. Phillip Neal fonds, 93/9, SR 165 (1)).

Fairbanks looking south. February 1944.
This is out on the campus of the University of Alaska and directly in the centre of that picture it’s said on a clear day you could see Mt. McKinley. Of course it wasn’t clear that day, and I was up there in August and I couldn’t see it then because it was cloud cover.
