80-G-495663: Allied Prisoners of War, Formosa, 1945. Smiles radiate from the faces of Allied prisoners of war when freed from Japanese camps on Formosa, Japan. In direct contrast is the surly, grumpy ex-guard in the foreground who might be anticipating a term behind the bamboo fences he once patrolled with an arrogant sir. Photograph released September 26, 1945. Official U.S. Navy photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2014/05/29). The original is a small photograph.
