Here is a Japanese Field Postcard from Unit 9984. I have two Questions
1 Identification of unit using this code.
2 Reason for return address to be copies in RED? - It appears to me to be the same as what is in Black.
Unit 9984
Re: Unit 9984
Hello stulev,
I investigated the history of the units belonging to the 5th Flight Division. The following three units have been decommissioned before the end of the war. Among them, the Unit Number for 16 Air Intelligence Unit is unclear. So I guess 高9984 was 16 Air Intelligence Unit.
3195 第五飛行師団司令部空地連絡中隊 5th Air Division Air - ground Liaison Company (FAC): Demobilized on 10 July 1945
9172 第八三独立飛行隊 83rd Independent Air Unit: Demobilized on 31 March 1944
第一六航空情報隊 16 Air Intelligence Unit: Reorganized into 16th Air Intelligence Regiment on 28 February 1945

The Unit Code was 高9984. 高 was Unit Character for 5th Air Division. Unit Number 9984 is not left. This means the unit 高9984 was demobilized before the end of the war.

Yes, it looks the same to me. The reason is unknown.
