Hi all,

I would like to know the name and rank of the crew of the P1Y1 Ginga, 762-24 with graffiti inscriptions in the fuselage, of the Azusa Special Attack Unit, which was used in Operation Tan No. 2, on March 11, 1945.

Could someone help me translating what is written in the image?

Hello guys,

I would like to know what these handwritings mean.
They are taken from the back of three different photographs.

Could anyone please help me by sending both the typed kanji and the English translations?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Hello! The attached image came from my late uncle. He was a Marine in the 4th Marine Division during WWII (Namur, Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima). This picture was in his effects. There is no information on where it came from. Can anyone translate the text to help possibly pin down where he might have gotten it?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Hello Gsparky2004,

The title of the photo is:
海軍園山部隊准士官以上昭和18年11月3日
Navy Sonoyama Force Officers and Associate Officers, 3 November 1943

Sonoyama Force was 752nd Naval Air Group (Twin Engines Bombers / Torpedo Bombers). The Commanding Officer at this time was CDR Sonoyama Hitoshi 園山斉 (49). 752nd Naval Air Group was deployed Marshall Islands. It departed Kisarazu on 22 November 1944. I think the photo was taken before the departure. CDR Sonoyama Hiroshi was promoted to CAPT on 1 December 1943. He was KIA on 6 February 1944 at Luot Island Ground Battle on 6 February 1944 and was promoted to RADM. According to Wiki 23rd and 24th Regiments, 4th Marine Division has landed on Luot Island on 2 February 1944. The Japanese garrison had been almost annihilated by U.S. Navy artillery fire prior to landing. Therefore, the details of CAPT Sonoyama's death are unknown. The aforementioned "February 6" is the day of the death of the war, which was recognized by the Navy. In other words, he may have died on February 2.
