Hi Matteus,

You are absolutely right of course. The Uniform should have given him away.

Thanks for that.

I believe I found another picture of Nakamura though.

I would like to thank you all for this great thread, i know it is really hard to find out the name of the unknown general. Let me give some contribution.

Kita, Seiichi.

Hi Roman,

Thank you very much for posting those super portraits of KITA Seiichi, up to now the only pics I've seen have been very poor quality. Keep them coming!!

Very best regards,

VJK

Hello VJK,

I will do my best. I would like to show you photo of 15th Divisional cavalry commander Liet.-Gen. Seigo Inokuchi (井口省吾, 1855-1925). The translation of japanese letters could be preliminary, but i hope it is correct. Also the attached photo includes original writings that explains the proper name and surname of the officer. We can see boxer rebellion and imperial constitution medals on his chest, quite rare ones.

The second photo: 4th Divisional cavalry commander Major-Gen. Kase Shizutake (加瀬倭武). He is a recipient of chineese Double Dragon order.

As for these generals i did not find any biographical resources, so any remarks are welcome.

Thank you.

Best regards, Roman.

I would like to post 2 photos that i have and just to confirm the personalities.

2. Major Gen. Nakajima Tetsuzo with family. We can see on his breast near the academy badge the Imperial Attendant Badge.
