Description: This original photo is from a collection of photos from a soldier named Jim who served in World War II with the 125th Radio Intelligence Co, 41st Division. They were responsible for intercepting, analyzing, and decoding enemy communications. Jim's photos span the period of 1944-1945. All photos appear to have been taken by him or his friends, and very well could be one of a kind images. Some have stamps on their backs showing they were cleared by military censors, and others appear to have been developed in the U.S. after the war. Type & Size: A 3x4 original photograph. Condition: Good to fair condition. Some of these images have dented edges or missing corners from age and their prior life in a 1940s scrapbook. Please see photos. This photograph captures a moment from July 1945 in Tairiku, Okinawa, featuring a Japanese woman holding a child, surrounded by several children in the foreground. The setting includes a dirt path, greenery, and visible structures in the background, indicative of the local environment. The image reflects the cultural and social dynamics during the post-war period in Okinawa. Okinawa was a crucial battleground during World War II, particularly noted for the Battle of Okinawa, which took place from April to June 1945. The intense fighting led to significant military and civilian casualties. In the aftermath of the battle, the Allies occupied Okinawa, and the local population faced various challenges, including displacement and changes in governance. This photo serves as a poignant reminder of the human experiences and interactions during a time of great upheaval. Jap woman and kids at Tairiku, Okinawa July '45
