The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Album pages kept by an American serviceman follow the occupation of Japan from Okinawa's camps, radar sites, and turtleback tombs to the bombed blocks of Hiratsuka and the streets of Niigata in late 1945. An honorable discharge certificate closes the record, marking one soldier's passage back to civilian life.
