History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

After The War

At the end of the war, in an internment camp in the Marianas, a US Marine offers a Japanese child a candy bar.
Having just learned that the war was over, Japanese holdouts are pictured surrendering in June, 1951. After the war, they were stranded on Anatahan, a small island on the northern part of the Marianas.
