Peace Poster. Original poster by S. Imatake, 1949, for Peace Day in Hiroshima. [Call no.: POSTERS/2018/1]
Envelope of black and white photos of Japan, mostly taken by Stuart Inder while working for BCOF in 1947, of Hiroshima and surrounding areas. The first photo, however, was taken by a Japanese fisherman and given to Stuart. It is of the Hiroshima bomb exploding and was taken from ten miles away. 'This is the only still picture of the actual Hiroshima bomb in existence.’ There is one photo of Stuart – a side view of him standing with two Japanese officials who are wearing stars on their jackets.
Original manuscript by Stuart Inder. Typed and hand-written. It is about Stuart’s impressions of Japan, the occupying forces and the people in Japan in 1946-7.
An envelope marked Japanese wartime MS, which contains drafts, notes and letters pertaining to the manuscript itself.
Yellow folder marked ‘Stuart’s letters from Japan’, but which actually contains drafts of articles by Stuart.
A collection of material collected while working for BCOF – business cards, letters to Stuart, printed articles and pictures, original articles by Stuart, factual information. Most is in delicate condition.
Letter from OA Gillespie, NZ plus the Foreword from his book The Pacific which contains information on the background of BCOF. Stuart may have saved these to use in his Memoirs, a chapter on BCOF, so they may be in the wrong box.
