Post by ijnfleetadmiral » 22 May 2017, 21:02

Looking for the class rankings for the following members of Eta Jima Class 62:

KUWAHARA Tetsuo 桑原哲郎
NISHIHARA Takeo 西原健郎
SUHO Motonari 周防元成

Hello ijnfleetadmiral,

I checked 海軍義済会員名簿 Kaigun Giseikai Membership List. Giseikai was the mutual aid society of naval officers. This is the only document which shows "Hammock-number (Class Ranking)”. For reference, I added Kaigun Giseikai Membership List of 56th Class to the end. The situation is rather complicated.

The below is the answer for your question.
NAKAJIMA Nobuyoshi 中島信義: 27 / 111
NAKAJIMA Sakae 中島栄: 28 / 111
SAJI Shinsuke 佐治慎介: 110 / 111
TAKAHASHI Kakuichi 高橋赫一: 42 / 111
TAKAHASHI Masao 高橋勝: 38 / 111
TAKAHASHI Takeo 高橋武雄: 6 / 111
TAKI Shigeyoshi 多喜重嘉: 111 / 111

The officers below were not listed on Kaigun Giseikai Membership List.
KAIGAKI Isamu 檜垣勇
MATSUSHITA Kanefumi 松下兼文
OE Kenji 大重兼治
SEKI Fumika 関文香

As for the 56th Class list, I usually rely on the web page below.
http://www2b.biglobe.ne.jp/~yorozu/sub2-8.htm#56ki
Although it says “111 graduates”, 115 officers are listed. Among them 4 officers below are not listed Kaigun Giseikai Membership List. (115 – 111 = 4)
檜垣勇
松下兼文
大重兼治
関文香

I checked JACAR and got the below.
大重兼治 was transferred to 58th Class from 57th Class. Probably he quitted Naval Academy afterwards.
(page 4 of https://www.jacar.archives.go.jp/aj/met ... C%E6%B2%BB&)
関文香 (57th Class) quitted Naval Academy because of sickness.
(https://www.jacar.archives.go.jp/aj/met ... 7%E9%A6%99&)
I think the other two are mistake in the web page, too.


◇ Kaigun Giseikai Membership List (Eta Jima 56th Class, 111 men)
The left hand side figure shows his “Hammock - number”.
( ) shows his name was changed and the changed name was listed on web page.
The inner information in ( ) was brought by the administrator of the following sites.
http://kitabatake.world.coocan.jp/rikukaigun72.html
So we can’t the class of the officer who was appointed before the name change.
For example:
According to frame 9 of Official Gazette dated 1 July 1937, LT 79 斉藤嘉十郎 was appointed Navigated Officer of YAMAKAZE on 30 June 1937.
According to page 4 of JACAR C13072072300, LT 105 山本滝一 was appointed Gunnery Officer on 3 September 1937.
But we can’t know their classes without Kaigun Giseikai Membership List.

Awesome...thanks for the info! I added the numbers you were able to find, subtracted those officers that weren't listed, and came up with 111. I now have the class rankings for Eta Jima Class 56. Thanks again!
