Caption: 80-G-338541: Prisoner of War Camp, Kamiyama, Honshu, Japan, 1945. This camp was located in the hills of Honshu, Japan. Planes from USS Bennington (CV-20) discovered this camp and the next day, instead of dropping their usual load of destruction, dropped packages to the prisoners. The prisoners’ expression of gratitude can be seen by TNX – a telegraphic form of “thanks” in the yard of the camp. Photograph received September 2, 1945. Official U.S. Navy photograph, now in the collection of the National Archives. (2014/7/2)
