Handwritten Letter Home Describing U.S. Occupation Duty and the Bombed City of Sendai, Japan, January 1946
Written from Japan in January 1946, this letter offers a personal glimpse into life during the early American occupation. The author describes routine barracks life alongside a stark account of a visit to Sendai, a city left largely in ruins by wartime bombing - a reminder of the human aftermath that followed the fighting.
