This handwritten caption comes from a personal photo album kept by a member of the 345th Bombardment Group during their deployment to Ie Shima in 1945. Alongside official combat photography, servicemen often collected candid snapshots of daily life and local encounters, annotating them with personal remarks. This page reflects a lighter, human moment amid the intensity of the Pacific campaign — a brief written memory of a local child the airman photographed during his time on the island. Project: 218237
