You are correct–thank you! Researching Army cemeteries in Okinawa in the Ryukyus, I immediately recognized it as the 7th Division Cemetery by the distinctive flag pole at the entrance.
I have been looking for this photo for years.The 7th I.D. really caught hell on Okinawa but you don’t here anything about it, only the Marines. Thank You;KK
I have an original of that picture. I also have the cemetery at Ie Shima
I also have several of Ie Shima taken by my father but I have no idea what is happening. They are old and faded. My father was an army engineer who laid airstrip at Ie Shima, Aitutaki and Christmas Island. I have photos but no real knowledge what they represent. One photo has some Japanese soldiers shaking hands with American soldiers.
I am in the process of scanning these photos and would be happy to share them if anyone were interested or able to identify them.

Sandra, I would love to see your photos. I’ll reach out to you about getting a copy.
I also have photos of the cemetery and of various places in the Ryukyu Islands and Leyte.
