Domo arigato, Hisashi san! The information is very useful
Re: Army patch identification
Nobody else replies, so I post some guesswork of mine.
I cannot find any reference to this round, cloth-made patch. But it resembles the good shooter medal, metal-made and worn on the left breast. That medal was official award and was very limited in annual number of issue per troop. I guess imperial guards issued unofficial good-shooter patch for excellent shooters who missed the top score.
