Japan, Part Two – Photographs taken in 1968 & 1969

I was on active duty in the U.S. Army from 6 September 1967 to 12 April 1969. While on active duty, I served most of my time in Korea as a soldier in the 7th Ordnance Company (Special Ammo). The 7th Ordnance Company was a component of the 83rd Ordnance Battalion, a part of the U.S. 8th Army. The 83rd Ordnance Battalion was sited adjacent to Seoksu-dong, a small village located about twenty miles south of Seoul, Korea. During my Korean tour of duty, I had the opportunity to visit Japan twice, during November 1968 and also during March 1969.

Below are some of the photos that I took while in Japan.
