Title: Philippine Invasion, 1941-1942.
Caption: Japanese troops relax with music, during a lull in the Luzon Campaign, 1942. Copied from the Japanese book: "Philippine Expeditionary Force," published in 1943. Original Japanese caption: "At Balanga: Reconstruction and the road to victory progresses day by day, but let us take a glance at a few scenes on the battle front. In the midst of ruins we wash rice, put our mess kits on the fire, and wait for the time to put Shoyu sauce and sugar in the pot. One becomes lonely when he turns at the sound of a cat mewing, but we prepare ourselves for next day's battle by playing the violin and the accordion."
