This collection of ephemera, preserved within a personal photo album, documents the wear and record-keeping of a U.S. Army soldier serving with the 24th Infantry Division's 52nd Field Artillery Battalion at Camp Hakata during the Occupation of Japan. Alongside official military documents and rank insignia, the collection includes U.S. military payment certificates and Japanese yen banknotes, illustrating the dual currency environment servicemen navigated, as well as a Japanese-made holiday greeting card reflecting cultural exchange during this period.
