Album Page: Japanese Midget Submarine, Camp Hakata, and Aircraft Scrapyard, Occupied Japan

This album page juxtaposes the physical remnants of war, a possible Japanese midget submarine and scrapped aircraft, with the everyday rhythms of occupation life: a rest-and-recreation outing at Camp Hakata and a visit to the Red Cross facility in downtown Fukuoka. Together these images illustrate how occupation troops moved between confronting wartime wreckage and settling into peacetime routine. Project: 218582
