Swords Posted August 14, 2023 Report Posted August 14, 2023 I did find another flag The problem was it was as given to an engineer who works in a factory Having said that I’m looking for one that was given to a soldier who saw action and was probably killed ! Reason being I wanted to find any living relatives to send it to I’m hoping this flag is a good one ! Any help translating the kanji would be appreciated steve Quote
SteveM Posted August 14, 2023 Report Posted August 14, 2023 Across the top is the same phrase on nearly all of these flags - "everlasting luck in battle". Down the left side is the name of the recipient "To: Hideo MOCHIZUKI" The rest are names. No idea if it is authentic or not. Quote
Swords Posted August 21, 2023 Author Report Posted August 21, 2023 Ok these flags are getting expensive especially if I send it out Here’s one that looks will be cheaper Any translation would be appreciated Steve Quote
SteveM Posted August 22, 2023 Report Posted August 22, 2023 Looks like a souvenir flag. It's not a flag that was presented to a soldier going off to war. It might even be a present for some US soldier. Well, it says 為駐進軍 ("For the occupying army") on it, but I don't know if any of the writing should be trusted. The rest are names of Japanese cities - most of them, anyway. 2 Quote
