This collection of photographs documents the men of the 1360th Engineer Co. an African American dump truck unit which served in Japan during and after World War II. (Their company motto was “You Call We Haul.”) Dump truck companies were responsible for a wide variety of tasks, including transportation of troops and supplies to the battlefield, and construction of roads and pipelines. The present photographs mainly showcase the men in their off-hours. Hanging around the base, or on excursions to Tokyo or elsewhere, posing for group or solo portraits. The album pages are replete with signatures and notations, many charming and fun. Little public information about the 1360th specifically, and these photographs offer a fascinating look into an untold chapter of WWII.
African American soldiers stationed in the Pacific Theater in the 1940s faced difficult circumstances, and were subject to the same discrimination and segregation they faced at home. After the war, some 15,000 African Americans were stationed in Tokyo, with thousands of others throughout the rest of the country.
