Ronald Aguirre Posted December 14 Report Posted December 14 Hello, can anyone make out anything from this flag? Thanks in advance! Quote
John C Posted December 14 Report Posted December 14 Ron: I'm pretty sure this part says pray for good luck in battle. These are pretty standard and are usually signed by school kids or co-workers. John C. 4 Quote
SteveM Posted December 15 Report Posted December 15 And to add to John's correct post above, the flag is presented to a Mr. INOKUCHI Asaharu (井口朝春). This is the name to the right of the "good luck in battle" phrase mentioned above. INOKUCHI is the surname (family name) of the person to whom the flag was presented. There are other possible readings in addition to INOKUCHI (for example, it may also be read as IGUCHI). The flag was presented by the "Young Men's Association of the 13th Precinct". It would take a bit more research to pinpoint the exact location of that precinct. Most of the rest of the writing would be the names of the signers. Looks legitimate to me. 4 Quote
