I take it that it's a Japaneseicon soldier taken prisoner by the Americans rather than a Allied soldier that had been held by the Japanese that's just been released? It's amazing how thin the man is but the awful truth is that the Japs expected Britishicon, American, Australianicon and other allied prisoners of war to do slave labour in this condition. It's little wonder that so many died in Japanese hands as prisoners of war and never saw their families again.
