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 3x4.5 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 of leisure on a basketball court in Ottawa during 1945. In the foreground, a man appears to be in mid-air, preparing to make a jump shot, while another man stands nearby, watching the action. The scene is framed by tall trees that provide a natural backdrop, suggesting a warm day conducive to outdoor activities. The year 1945 marked the end of World War II, a time when soldiers and veterans sought to reintegrate into civilian life and reclaim normalcy. Activities like basketball represented not only recreation but also camaraderie among service members. Ottawa, as the capital of Canada, was likely a place where many returning soldiers gathered, finding ways to socialize and bond in a post-war environment.
