Original 1947 AP Wirephoto from Oakland, California showing the first flag-draped caskets containing World War II dead being removed from the Army Transport Honda Knot. The caption states that soldiers supervised the removal while longshoremen stood at attention, and that the ship returned 3,028 bodies of World War II servicemen. The caption is separate from the photo, with both mounted on the same piece of black archival paper. Overall size is approximately 8¾x7¾ inches. Came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
