If there are mistakes I would be grateful for any corrections. Most of the entries are the names of this young man's well wishers.

Top center: (right to left 久長運武祈) 祈武運長久 = Ki Buun Choukyuu: “Prayers for perpetual good fortune in war”

Right side: 挺身報國 To step forward bravely and dedicate oneself to the service of one’s country

Left side: Large writing
Soldier’s name: 為西 Tamenishi (last) (?)智 (first) 君 Kun (means: young man)

Soldier’s first name is 牧智. Probably, it is read as Makichi.

By 挺身報國, there is a name of the principal of 福島県田村農蚕学校(Tamura Agricalture Silkworm School of Fukushima Prefecture). Probably, the soldier graduated from this school.

Thank you Taki, your assistance is always appreciated!

It's interesting that the soldier is associated with Fukushima.

Hi,

On May 2 I had the privilege of visiting the Yamato Museum in Kure.

I bought this picture in the shop. In the museum an attendant offered me a "free translation", but could anyone help me with a translation?

Thanks in advance!

Franklin, I hope you had a great time at the museum.
I had trouble translating some of the characters because of my poor abilities with the difficult characters, but I was able to translate most of it.
It's called "A Man's Duty"
It's a quote by Yamamoto Isoroku. The Japanese naval commander.
"There will be times that you suffer."
"There will be times that you speak in anger." (I think this is wrong)
"There will be times you leave things unfulfilled." -Meaning unfinished business eg. raising children to adulthood, but being unable because of the war
"There will be times when you will be furious."
"There will be times when you will weep."
"To take these things like a man and to keep on moving."
"Is A Man's Duty"
I hope this helped, I have not been to the Yamato Museum but I wish to be there someday.
I hope that you have more good experiences in Japan.

Mamoru, thank you very much for your help!

The Yamato Museum is fantastic.

I also visited the Chiran Peace Museum and the Kanoya Air Base Museum.

Japan is an astonishing country.

Hello tigre,

Any chance to id these warships and the naval action seen here.....................

Battle of the Coral Sea (7 - 8 May 1942)
CV-2 Lexington was on fire due to the attack of IJN aircraft.
In the caption, the carrier was Saratoga, but Lexington was correct. (Both belonged to the same class.)

Hello shidan,

Could someone please help me with this IJAAF term?
航空警戒手
It was paired with an entry for an air intelligence regiment in a soldier's techou. Is it something as simple as a "watcher" for air raids, or was this someone who manned a specific piece of equipment like radar? Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!


Tom

It was a radar operator. Watchers belonged 情報中隊.
A 警戒中隊 had 24 航空警戒手s.
The below is the example for composition of a Intelligence Regiment.
