July 14th, 1950 – Yokohama, Japan. Remote Mobile Radio Transmitters are set up in a grove some distance from the Command Post by the 304th Signal Operation BN during an Eighth Army CPX in Japan.
Image #3269
The reason I selected this photo for the blog is because of the depiction of the equipment. It was only after selection that I found out it was from Japan. I love it there, and this image is much different than the urban Yokohama I visited during my volunteer/study abroad trip last June! But the best part turned out to be the caption because – possibly unbeknownst to the person who created the caption – there’s a wonderful short story called “Within a Grove” by Ryonosuke Akutagawa. Only a few pages long, but a great example of storytelling from multiple points of view. Akira Kurasawa later made a movie based on it, Roshomon. I liked the story better, but the movie is considered a classic. – Chrissie Reilly, Staff Historian

Great photo, less than stellar caption: “Pictures of social gatherings.” There’s no date, location, names, or purpose for event. Do any of our readers recognize a relative in this photo? We’d love to hear from you!
