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 3x4.5in 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 depicts a scene likely in Hollandia, Indonesia, captured in June 1945. It features several buildings, potentially including a residence and military vehicles, with a group of people in the foreground. The image reflects a moment of daily life or interaction among soldiers and locals in the aftermath of World War II. The military context suggests that these interactions were significant during this transitional time. Hollandia, located on New Guinea, was a key site for Allied forces during the war. Following its capture from Japanese forces in 1944, it became a critical base for operations in the Pacific theater. The region's architecture reflects a mix of military and local influences, representing both the history of conflict and civilian life during a turbulent time. Spanish Home Below Mantle June '45
