Description
Lyle
Edward
Booth
is
a
WWII
Veteran
who
served
in the
United
States
Army
from
April
10
,
1945
to
March
30
,
1946
in
Yokohama
,
Japan
.
Although
he was
stationed
in
Japan
after
the
end
of the
war
,
Booth’s
experience
gives
a
clear
description
of the
immense
poverty
and
destruction
present
in
Japan
by
1945
. In
November
1945
,
Booth
saw
first-hand
the
aftermath
of
Hiroshima
,
which
he
describes
in this
interview
.
Booth
shares
how
older
Japanese
men
had
resorted
to
standing
at the
end
of the
soldier’s
chow
lines
,
quietly
begging
for
scrapes
. This
interview
captures
not
only
the
daily
struggles
facing
the
American
soldiers
serving
in
Japan
but also that of the
Japanese
civilians
.
