Japan Ihjhe South Seas

Our Cover

With feelings of enmity vanishing and war memories fading, the governments and people of the Islands have, with great goodwill, assisted Japanese missions to recover and return home the remains of their war dead. All over the Islands temporary shrines were erected to honour the dead and Islanders joined the Japanese in the ceremonies. Here is one such ceremony, at Tambea Village, West Guadalcanal, where Japanese veterans stand dressed in suits in 90 deg F. heat in the middle of the day as a eulogy is read by one of them. The picture is by Denis Fisk.
