Photos taken by James Louis Blilie,

Korea and the Philipines 1952-1953

My Dad was stationed in Japan for much of 1952 and 1953.  While stationed there, he spent quite

a bit of time in the Philippines and some time in Korea.

 

The pictures are in the order in which my Dad put them into the slide carousels (except some obviously

out of place ones that I grouped with like photos.)  These are all scanned from the original

Kodachrome slides.  Mostly, the captions here are exactly what my Dad wrote on the slides frames.

I did not crop the slides.
