American propaganda leaflet: "Military Top Secret" encouraging Japanese soldiers/citizens to surrender to American forces during Saipan battle, 1944. Original and english translation.

I came across this leaflet and was taken by its aesthetic beauty as an art form. I than came to realize its intent and my reality shifted 180. This creates such a contradiction within myself in our ways of understanding and seeing. I pieced the image and translation together to present it here.
This shows some of the street layout in Colchester town centre. 'CRGS' marks the way to the school i went to, and 'LLP' marks the office where my mother worked. The crossed line on the right is the railway into St Botolph's station (now Colchester Town). The half-crossed lines in the bottom half denote staircases up the steep hill there.
I found this in a box of old papers. It's probably from the 1990s, and it's clearly drawn by my dad. Neither of us can remember why.
Afro Mexican Men, 1910
During the slavery era within the Americas, Mexico and Peru combined were the largest importer of African slaves. The slave importing United States from the same era was the second.
As with their African Diaspora kinfolk in the U.S., other parts of North, Central and South America and in the Caribbean, they are able to claim a diverse "ethnic" heritage, coming in every beautiful and handsome shade of skin and etc.
We're related--you and I
You from the West Indies,
I from Kentucky.
Kinsmen--you and I,
You from Africa,
I from the U.S.A.
Brothers--you and I.
Brothers by Langston Hughes
This poem is pretty obvious as it embraces and celebrates a "one people" among African folk and people of African descent wherever they happen to be in the world.
"The A-bomb devastated nearly all administrative agencies and destroyed official documents. Thus, the exact number of deaths due to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima remains unknown. Many victims were never identified.
According to a document submitted by the city of Hiroshima to the United Nations in 1976 entitled 'For the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons and the Reduction of All Armed Forces and All Armaments,' an estimated 140,000 (±10,000) people died as a result of the A-bomb between August 6, 1945, and the end of December that year."
Beautiful, green cloaks
Like fluttering, emerald ribbons
Brightly coloured creepers like party streamers
Blazing carpet of bluebells
Clumps of snowdrops
Clusters of purple blossoms
Red and orange berries
Spikes of quivering, yellow petals
Found this on the street when out for a walk on Christmas Day. I assumed it was a poem, but it's actually from Descriptosaurus: Supporting Creative Writing for Ages 8-14

These images have kindly been provided to the Society by Christopher Tompkins whose uncle co-pilot Lt.Al Tompkins Jr died, aged 21, in the crash of the B24 Liberator at RAF Woodvale at 12.55 hours on 25th October 1944.
The Liberator was attached to the 446th bomb group of the USAF 8th Air Force and the 20 crew were on there way home or coming on leave to the US Army Air Corps Rest Home in Southport. Most had completed their required tour of duty having together flown 370+ missions.
The incident seems to have been covered up by the US military for a long time and it was only 19 years ago that the relevant documents were declassified.
The Liberator made an approach from the North but was off the line of the runway and heading for the control tower, the airfield controller fired a red verey. He pulled up slightly made a tight circuit at about 100 feet. He then made a curved approach, tried to line up by banking to port then starboard, lost height and crashed in the field just off the end of runway 22, outside the perimeter and airfield boundary.
4 Crew died in the crash and 3 later died at the Station sick quarters. The remainder of the crew, who were all severely injured, were transferred to E.M.S Hospital Southport, either within half an hour or later in the afternoon when medical officers considered it was safe to move them. Three Naval Surgeons from Southport arrived with ambulances approximately 17 minutes after the crash occurred.
Help was also provided by 3 L.M.S railway platelayers who rushed from their work to the scene of the disaster and dragged crew from the burning wreckage.
Only 1 living person remains who witnessed the crash. Joan Braid of Segars Farm Ainsdale. She was returning home from school for lunch and witnessed the whole event and was able to pinpoint the exact location of the crash.
On the 70th anniversary ( 25th October 2014 ) Joan Braid attended the site of the crash with Dr Reg Yorke of the Formby Civic Society and laid a cross and flowers in memory of the dead.
These seem to be the transfer documents of land to William Vestey and Edmund Hoyle Vestey then both of Derby Road Freshfield in the County of Lancaster, Cold Storage Proprietors, in the purchase from the Formby Land & Building Company Limited of 5 plots of land on 3rd June 1902

9227 CSS Chattahoochee, Center Gallery- Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus, 1002 Victory Dr., Columbus, Muscogee, GA. April 17, 2014. Decimal degrees: 32.448203, -84.980960
“CSS Chattahoochee”
“CSS Chattahoochee Model: Built by Ozzie Raines and donated to the Museum in 2005, this model shows the wide beam, shallow draft and relatively flat hull that suited the ship well for river travel.
2 Boot Socks: Belonged to Lt. J.J. Guthrie, in command of the Chattahoochee.
3 Pocket Knife: Found with the remains of the Chattahoochee. Pocket knives were very common among sailors, and this artifact likely belonged to one of the enlisted crewmen.
4 Lt. J.J. Guthrie: Original pre-war photograph of Guthrie, probably taken in 1852.
5 Battle Axe Head: The remains of a battle axe, found with the Chattahoochee. These axes, despite their name, were typically used as tools, not weapons.
6 Boarding Pike Head: Found with the remains of the CSS Chattahoochee, thus documenting the continued use of this age-old naval item.
7 Austrian Bayonet: Both US and Confederate forces imported weapons from Europe to augment their own production ability. This bayonet, produced in Austria, was recovered from the Chattahoochee.
8 Lt. J.J. Guthrie Sword: This Model 1853 US Navy Officer’s Sword was purchased by Guthrie before resigning his US Navy Commission to join the Confederacy. Engraved on the sword and scabbard are Guthrie’s name and the year 1861.
9 Model 1841 Cutlass: Widely used by the Confederate Navy, who captured large numbers as states seceded, this pre-war model cutlass was also copied and produced in large numbers in the South. This particular sword, recovered with the Chattahoochee, bears a unique alteration at the hilt; an 1860 US penny has been added to the tang, possibly to secure the now-missing wooden grip.
10 Grapping Hook: Used to snag floating items or to catch the rigging or rails of another ship to pull it closer for boarding, these were standard naval equipment. This example was recovered with the CSS Chattahoochee.”
