Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: “Sgt. Major William B. Richard of Fitchburg, Mass., is pictured with his hands full of Japanese money captured by U.S. Marines in the Solomon Islands. NO GOOD TO HIM NOW---- Sergeant Major Wm. B. Richards of Fitchburg, Mas., with a mint of Japanese mazuma captured by United states Marines in the Solomon Islands. Maybe he'll get a chance to spend it on the Islands of Japan. Note the Japanese lettering on the money bags in the box.”
"Japanese invasion currency. Printed bills and coins. There were two chests of this and I had them under my desk for about a week before we could ship them out. We estimated there's probably about the equivalent a quarter million dollars worth of money." From the Thayer Soule Collection (COLL/2266) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
