The Philippines - September, 1945

The beginning of September, 1945 brought a typhoon that hit the Philippine Islands. Camp was set up just in time to face the storm.

There was time for fun with soldiers riding the surf.

I had to guess as to the correct order of the pictures. I know that the typhoon hit at the beginning of the month and the unit shipped out to Japan in October. I put the image of Manila at the end thinking that was the point of departure for the voyage to Japan.
