In 1944 Life magazine ran an article about a Marine that sent his fiancee the skull of a Japanese soldier killed in the fighting over some Pacific Island.
Big full page spread -- had the smiling girl with the skull on her desk at work. I remember that the office staff had nicknamed the skull "Tojo."
The article did not disapprove, either. It ran it as an example of the healthy overexuberance of our boys oversees fighting an inhuman enemy.
