Actually they were given a deployment book which showed not only pictures taken in Tokyo Harbor

My father was a Captain in the Army and served in the South Pacific, primarily on New Guinea. After he passed in '78 I found a sea chest of his stuff he'd stored out in our barn. It was full of magazines about the Pacific campaign, many of them with color photo's, along with several notebooks with his hand written notes from Army munitions schools he'd attended, and some Army manuals on various weapons systems. He was in charge of an ammo dump on New Guinea and the box has samples of various shells they must have handled, primer and powder removed, of course. There were also some "interesting" photo's of him and some of his friends with several women that weren't my mother at a hotel in Mississippi......but that was before they met and long, long before I was ever a gleam in his eye......he did have mighty fine taste in womenfolk, though.....

And my Dad had several photos of Hula Girls sitting on his lap. At a time when Honolulu was famous amongst the military for allot more than just having a sunny beach.
