Looks like he was a paratrooper (uniform) headed home. The US base looks like a demobilization camp.

Who knew they had Holgas back then?

This would have been a lot of fun. I remember when I got handed a dozen or so rolls of 75 year old 135 that had been stored for many years what a challenge it was getting the film unraveled without it fracturing so I could scan it. And the scanning process itself became a voyage of discovery that kept me engrossed for a couple of weeks.

These are great! 🙂
