Hey guys, new around here, so I hope this is the right section to post this topic. I recently acquired permission to display some photos from a private collection. The collection belongs to the family of Col. Harry E. Clarke, the chief defense counsel of General Tomoyuki Yamashita at the post-WW2 war crime trials. The photographs can be seen here:

I know there are many WW2 enthusiasts on this forum so I think this is something you would enjoy!
