This could indeed be accurate, given that many Filipinos did follow U.S. military labor networks from the Philippines to Okinawa.plain2021-09-16T16:29:19-04:00The Gail Project1952-1953Dustin WrightCharles Eugene GailThe Gail Project; University of California, Santa CruzUsed with permission.Dustin WrightDW-0029Kate McDonald306bb1134bc892ab2ada669bed7aecb100ef7d5f

These images differ from those in the “Daily Life and Work” page in that here, labor does not appear to be the major focus of either Charles Gail or the people in the photographs. Instead, Gail seems particularly interested in trying to capture the portraiture (attire and physical characteristics of the people themselves), which he often described in writing on backs of the images.
