35th Division was also irregular composition. It was formed at Asahikawa, but its infantry regiments came from Kanto. Other divisions were in regular form.
> And did 41st division were completely recruited from 14th division area ? As I see its infantry Regiments were recruited from Gunma, Tochigi and Ibaraki prefectures, obviously 14th divisional area.
41st Division was formed in Korea, but its infantry regiments and other units came from Japan. So, it was completely recruited from 14th divisional area.

Hello, Taki, thank again for your help. That mean 35th divison other Units like engineer and Artillery were came from Hokkaido ? But I see Sources Hokkaido was suffered from spare Population in that Island.
BTW, Japanese 24, 25, 28 and 29th divisions were came from three different divisional area, is it affect its cohesion in battle ?
