Stulev, That is an impressive bibliography. I look forward to the completion of your work. When will that be and is it just about code numbers? Anyway, according to Japanese 1st Demobilization Bureau records and except for the additions provided by Fontessa (and a few exceptions noted below), all of the numbers in your three lists were unassigned.

4333 - Assigned, but name unreadable on my document
5211 - Unassigned; JICPAC says 303rd Independent Infantry Bn
5341 - Unassigned; JICPAC says 1st Cavalry Bde
6737 - 1st Demob says 56th Reconnaisance Regt; JICPAC says 113th Infantry Regt
6738 - 1st Demob says 56th ?; JICPAC says 56th Reconnaisance Regt
Personally, I would go with the 1st Demobilization Bureau as being the most authoritative.

Wellgunde, ISJP 2141

Hi friends,
Stulev is doing an excellent job. I know it and I can give my testimony.

Kind regards
