China Incident

[Peter H]

Great photos! Are they from the 1937 campaign or from the 1931 campaign?

Hi,

Give or take my Japanese translation skills(or lack of them) the photos here cover 1938,1939 and 1940.The uniforms as shown also seem to change as the war moved south into the semi-tropical area of south China--sun helmets appear in use etc.

Besides, the field cap wasn't in use for the 1931 Manchuria campaign. It was introduced in late 1932 but did see service during the Jehol campaign.
