Return to Tokyo

by Brian Harper

1947

On leave ifrom my unit (A.E.S) at Yuda via Yamaguchi.
At Kawana, on the Izu Peninsular.
Tour into Tokyo ...
Along with many other photos took one of one of the battlements on the side of the Imperial Palace.

1984

Back in Tokyo.
With my two youngest children.
On a city tour ...
Hello! Back again to view the Imperial Palace.
I was sure I saw the same view as in 1947.
Lined up Pura and Paul and took a photo.
Yes! Exactly the same background.
