American Servicemen Queued at Japanese Harbor Pier, Post-WWII Occupation, Hiroshima Area
American servicemen line a harbor pier in Japan shortly after the end of World War II, part of the occupation effort that followed Japan's surrender. Photographs like this, preserved in a personal Japan photo album, document the logistics of postwar occupation, from processing troops to moving equipment through devastated port cities such as those near Hiroshima.
