Photos of WWII Japanese soldiers

Photo taken on July 31, 2024, at Misaka shrine in the western Japan city of Yamaguchi shows photos of Japanese soldiers who went to World War II.

The shrine has been trying to return the photos to the families since the end of the war but about 14,000 photos still remain.
