r/InterestingToRead - 1944 年 5 月 22 日，《生活》杂志的 "本周图片 "是这样一张怪异的照片：20 岁的娜塔莉-尼克森（Natalie Nickerson）在收到她的男友（一名在新几内亚服役的海军中尉）许诺的一个日本战斗人员的头骨后，给她的男友写了一封感谢信。
我不得不去查了一下，因为我想知道这个头骨后来怎么样了（文章说这个头骨下落不明）。 下面是文章中的一段话：
"两年前，一位高大英俊的海军中尉在向亚利桑那州凤凰城 20 岁的战地工作者娜塔莉-尼克森道别时，许诺给她一个日本鬼子。 上周，娜塔莉收到了一个人头骨，上面刻着她的中尉和 13 个朋友的亲笔签名： "这是个好日本鬼子 一个在新几内亚海滩捡到的死人" 娜塔莉对这份礼物感到惊讶，并给它取名为 "东条"。 武装部队[《生活》尖锐地指出]强烈反对这种事情"。

她的怪异男友为它亲笔签名。
向我们的日本朋友致歉。 战争永远是地狱。
LIFE magazine's "Picture of the Week," on May 22, 1944, was this bizarre photo of 20 year old Natalie Nickerson penning a thank you note to her boyfriend (a Navy Lieutenant in New Guinea) upon receipt of the skull of a Japanese combatant, promised by her departed beau.

I had to go look this up, because I wondered what happened to the skull (which the article stated was unknown). Here's a quote from the article:
"When he said goodbye two years ago to Natalie Nickerson, 20, a war worker of Phoenix, Ariz., a big, handsome Navy lieutenant promised her a Jap. Last week Natalie received a human skull, autographed by her lieutenant and 13 friends, and inscribed: “This is a good Jap—a dead one picked up on the New Guinea beach.” Natalie, surprised at the gift, named it Tojo. The armed forces [LIFE pointedly noted] disapprove strongly of this sort of thing."

Her freaky boyfriend autographed it.
Apologies to our Japanese friends. War is always hell.
