This photo was submitted by Harvey Churchill in Nov 2017. It's filename is liberation kowloon, but someone on Facebook recognized Francis Morgan who was in Japan at Yumoto Camp when the war ended. If you recognize anyone in the photo please contact us using the link found at the top of most of our web pages.

Note that it is quite large (1600px wide) so that individual faces can be seen. An even larger version is available on request.

Correspondence in 2017 with Tony Banham (author) points toward Kowloon/Sham Shui Po. He notes that the tea box at the left of the photo points toward a British colony as the item would be out of place in Japan.

This photo was discussed on our Facebook group: Hong Kong Veterans Tribute in November 2020, and perhaps other times as well.
