The man on the left is my father in law. They had been doing some souvenir hunting in the caves of Okinawa. Their ship was a supply, marine troop ship. They had gotten permission to explore the caves after things settled down. He said the smell was enough to make you toss lunch so many Japanese had blown themselves up rather than be captured. On the way back to Pearl Harbor the captain announced over the pa to ditch any souvenirs. He pitched it overboard but said a bunch of guys didn’t and got away with it.
