When I went ashore, and later in Tokyo, I wore my unused 45. So did other "occupying forces." A notable scene was the lobby of the Grand Hotel in Yokohama, which bustled with admirals and generals buying pearls from a local dealer. All wore 45s [Must have looked like a Japanese version of the Long Branch Saloon.]. Best, Martin Packman. JLS 1944 ................
