The Photo Log, With an Additional Note on OSS CBI Photobook 15 - Southwest China, 1945- Reconnaissance, Part 5, Foldout of Terrain

The panoramic view of the valley, preserved as a Foldout on Photobook Page 15,  has EJZ notations similar to those found in the Photo Log here in the Trove.



The Photo Log is a notebook 4" by 8", bound at the top, containing penciled notes relating three types of data: map design and map point numbering;  Roll and Negative Print numbers;  written descriptions of locations, persons, and events.  The cover is inscribed, "Picture Notes VOL. I" and "Eugene J. Zdrojewski F.P. with SO - Team Jackal."

"F.P." is Field Photo.
"SO" is Special Operations

The notes cover 5/31/1945 through 08/21/1945, and R1 through R11.

There is no mention of any R15, and no mention of J/Rnn.

The Foldout print notations are J/R15NP13 through J/R15NP22.

Does this mean that J is a parallel series of photos?   Where are the "Picture Notes" for J series photos?  Were they taken during that July?
