George Unfortunately, I do not have the detail of that photo. You're right, many of those 女子挺身隊 working in the sword industry. Some of them also working in the arsenal. This photo shows 女子挺身隊 worked in 小倉陸軍造兵廠(福岡)March 1943.Some of the girls in the photo may have died during the US air raid on June 16, 1944. 1944年(昭和19年)6月16日 北九州市がB-29による大空襲を受ける この空襲で倉庫が破壊され、約80人が死亡した。死者の半数は女子挺身隊であった。
