Pet apes “serving” the Imperial Japanese Navy monkeying around. They would serve as mascots on the Japanese carrier Akagi, which would be scuttled at Midway on the 5 June 1942. Date taken unknown. [681 x 482]
Additional photo info would be welcome. Im tempted to believe this may be a propaganda picture produced by the allies to dehumanize the Japanese, due to the english writing on their caps. Very old photo I dug up, cant remember where I found it. Original caption read "Japanese ‘soldiers’ monkeying around".
