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)).

Shown here is the pioneer road built by Army engineers in 1942 and the improved road built by contractors in 1943 and 1944. July 1944.
Here we can see the pioneer road in the foreground and the contractor’s road they built down along the lake where they had the time and equipment to do the blasting so they could get the road along the lake. This is Muncho Lake and the highway follows along it for 6 or 7 miles. I think this is one of the prettiest lakes on the whole route.
