Repatriated Soldiers Come Back 1
|
 |
CAPTION: Repatriated Soldiers back in their homeland.
|
ADDITIONAL INFO: It is unknown where this photo was taken. However, the guard rail and life preserver of a ship in the upper right hand corner of this photo suggests a port. It looks as if these soldiers have just returned home to Japan and are enjoying cigarettes and beer. Some of these soldiers may have been away from Japan as long as ten years or more.

Repatriated Soldiers Come Back 2
|
 |
CAPTION: Repatriated soldiers are relaxing together and seem happy to be home.
|
ADDITIONAL INFO: It is unknown where this photo was taken, but as most of the other photos seem to have been taken in and around Tokyo, this one was probably taken at either the port in Tokyo or Yokohama, a few miles to the South. As late as the end of the Occupation, Japanese soldiers were still being repatriated. Even within the past few years, former Japanese soldiers have been found living in parts of the former Soviet Union. |

Repatriated Soldiers at a Public Bath House
|
 |
CAPTION: Are they repatriated soldiers? Seventeen men wash each others backs and shoulders in a line at a public bathhouse.
|
ADDITIONAL INFO: There is no information available to mark who these men were or where the photograph was taken. But their short hair makes us think they are repatriated soldiers. |

Repatriated Soldier 1
|
 |
CAPTION: A repatriated soldier smiles for the camera, showing his missing front teeth.
|
ADDITIONAL INFO: The man’s jacket and cap suggest he is a former soldier. The pillared building and wide street to the left of the picture are probably near the Imperial Palace in the Marunouchi district of Tokyo. However, many of the buildings that survived the war were sturdy stone structures such as those around Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace, so this is only a guess. |

Repatriated Soldier 2
|
 |
CAPTION: A man in a military coat and boots poses for the photographer on a pathway nearby a railroad.
|
ADDITIONAL INFO: The old man could be a repatriated soldier. Although the coat he is wearing bears no distinctive insignia, the uniform resembles that of a Warrant Officer more than that of an enlisted man’s winter coat. On the far right of the picture is a railway embankment. |
