GIs of the 127th Regiment of the 32nd Infantry Division watching a Japanese woman with a baby on her back in Sasebo on October 18, 1945. She might have been asked to check the foreign troops in the town by her local community because it would be uneasy moment for a young woman to walk alone though not alone this time IMO.
