Following from Caldwell (Idaho) Tribune, 15 Oct 1945, page 6:

Atomic Bombs 'Really Tore Up Japan' , Sgt. J.A. Redman Writes to His Parents Here
"Those atomic bombs really tore up Japan," writes Sgt. James A. Redman, son of Mr. And Mrs. J.R. Redman, 720 Indiana Street, Caldwell, to his parents. Sgt. Redman, a graduate of Caldwell high school, is with the medical detachment of the American division occupational forces in Japan.

The letter reads: "By now you have probably guessed that I am in Japan. It is a lot different that I thought it would be. Boy, those bombs really tore up the place. One place we went through was just a pile of tin and junk. Yokohama wasn't tore up as badly as I thought it would be. It was pretty thoroughly roughed up, but there were still lots of big buildings standing. The Nips have the trolley cars and trucks running now and I don't believe I ever saw so many bicycles in my life. About every Nip in the country has one.

"I like the climate here a lot better than any of the Philippines or South Pacific islands. It doesn't get hot in the daytime, but it gets plenty cool at night. I think I could use a pair of "long handles". I don't think I will get to the States before winter comes, so I will probably have a nice winter here.
"They say it snows here, but I sure hope not. If it does, I'll probably freeze to death. It will be a lot different than the weather around the equator.
"There are plenty of pines and cedar trees around here. These pines sure look good to me. I don't know if the Nips have any good fishing here or not, but if they do, I'll find it. I saw a couple go by the other day with fishing poles.
"I don't think you need to worry about any casualties when the Nips are disarmed. Everything looks good to me now. There hasn't been any trouble here yet. This is a lot easier than you think. It sure is different that running then out of their holes. All the Japs I've seen here are scared to death of us.
"I guess it is on account of the propaganda the higher authorities told them: It won't be long before they are over it. When you go down the road, the men salute and women bow.
"We didn't do any celebrating when the was over and I wasn't any happier than the rest of the gang here." SOURCE: Ruby Redman. His Social Security Number was 518-22-6076 issued in Idaho.
