World War II: People of Asia

In culture on September 14, 2008 at 5:24 am

These are just a few photos of women (Japanese and Filipina) and some native Islanders in what I believe to be the Philippines.  My Grandmother used to call these Grandpas WWII girlfriends.  One of the photos has the name of the girl written on the back.  So Grandpa Les must have known her in some capacity.  Girlfriend.  Customer.  Who knows.  Maybe he almost married one of the girls he met in post-war Japan.  Thousands of GIs did so in the years between the end of the war and today.

  1. Hi there! I am a fan of old pictures as well. Re: philippine-native-woman. Did your grandpa tell where he got this pic? Which part of the Philippines is this lady from? The pic caught my attention because the lady was wearing banana leaves for a skirt. That is odd I think. http://milkcashcow.wordpress.com

  2. Joe, I’m sorry. I’m not ever sure that pic is from the Philippines. My Grandpa talked about PI and Japan all the time. The lady doesn’t look Japanese to me. So I guessed at her origin.

  3. She looks Hawaiian, i was a little shocked what with her tits hanging out and all, lol.

  4. haha National Geographic.
