Thanks everyone for the knowledge and kind words.


It seems Iwo Jima items are magnetized to me as of recent. I found this snapshot on eBay last week and it just arrived.

It Shows "Iwo Jima Field?" with a beautiful Baseball Today sign hanging below. I'm not sure what field this is, and can't find any other photos of it. Is this Higashi Field with a different name?? I can't find any information on it at all.

The back reads: This is our baseball field. (It isn't?) Ebetts Field but is a pretty good one anyway.

In Red:
Chief Censor Undecided if this picture can be sent.

Absolutely amazing, if this field was being treated as a classified/hidden area that would be a really surreal thought and discovery.

I would like to think one of the Brooklyn Dodgers in Iwo Jima took this photo. (Lew Riggs, Chet Kehn or Stan Rojek.) Maybe somebody is familiar with their handwriting knows?

Thanks for looking!
Lucas
