These pictures were taken at a museum of World War Two memorabilia in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, near one of the bridges that the Japanese built (using slave labor, including Allied prisoners). At many museums in Thailand people get a little carried away with the idea of displaying old things.
Sometimes it seems that any old thing will do. Certainly the battered, dusty old cheap suitcase in the top photo has no historical value. And then there is the wall of shoes.
Even many of the warfare related items in this museum have no relation to the subject at hand, the war related Japanese involvement in Thailand. Everything was old though, that was the only common theme.
