AMERICAN MARINES OCCUPY JAPAN.

PHOTO ALBUM OF A U.S. MARINE IN JAPAN & OKINAWA JUST AFTER WORLD WAR II.
U.S. MARINES OCCUPY JAPAN AND OKINAWA-PHOTOS OF WORK & PLAY
This is the personal album and record of a U. S. Marine
stationed in Japan. It begins with a winter bivowack at
the Mount Fuji area in winter, snowed in. The marines are
camping in tents, freezing cold, but looking cheerful as
they play snow ball baseball ! They are with their tanks,
and in full combat gear. They take a quick trip to Tokyo and
the Kamakura area and take classic photos before the great
bronze Buddha statue. They then take a troop transport ship
from some port in the snow-bound North of Japan, and snap
some photos of Japanese along the way. They return back to
Okinawa where nice photos of Japanese Shinto shrines and
the countryside are taken. They have a great party in a Jap-
anese restraunt with Japanese dancing girls and GIRLS ! They
down lots of hard liquor and take memorial photos fumbling
with chopsticks as they eat on the Tatami mats on the floor.
A great time was had by all the platoon members. They return
to base, where a list of platoon members is posted, as the
"First Platoon Lean-Mean." Photos inside the barracks, his
bunk and locker, on a "march"... A good and surely fond
memory of his time in Japan ! Color scans can be sent by
email.
