<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 3352178, member: 649&quot;]I have acquired an extremely large group of photos. After looking through them all, I believe most are from immediately post-WWII, and most in Okinawa.</p><p>Also included is a period copy of the flag raising of Iwo Jima as well as several other nasty photos of bodies and even what appears to be a beheading. (I will not be posting those photos here.) But, I’m wondering if those dozen or so dramatic photos were prints purchased as a “remembrance“ by the soldier. Was such a thing available/done? I ask because the rest of the photos, which appear more candid/casual, seem to be from Okinawa right after the end of the war. Lots of photos of soldiers enjoying them selves, playing baseball, lots of photos of Japanese kids and women.</p><p>Any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]299967[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299968[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299969[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
