Thank you so much. I can't imagine what they went through and the things they might have had to do that they normally never would have. To live with it all the years afterwards with virtually no support. Talk about PTSD. My heart goes to all the men and women who have suffered from or still...
I wish I did as well. My dad didn't show this to me until he was 80 years old so his uncle had already passed away long before. Learning from this experience, I have started to write down the stories of things I have that my sons might want to know or maybe might not remember. I love learning...
No, I'm sorry, I don't. I only know my dad told me his uncle gave him this (a very long time ago, before I was born) and that he got it from a Japanese soldier. The way my dad said it, it sounded like the soldier gave it to my dad's uncle.
All I know is what my dad told me, that his uncle (who fought in WW2, I'm thinking it was the army because my dad served in the army during the Korean War) was given this by a Japanese soldier. I wish I knew more.
Thank you so much for explaining. I truly appreciate that! I would be very happy to get this back to the family of the person this belongs to. I know I would be so appreciative to receive something that was my great grandfather's!
Thank you very much! I'll contact them.
Thank you so much for your help. All my dad told me was his uncle gave it to him. I appreciate your help very much.
My father inherited a Japanese soldier's flag from his uncle who was in WW2. In trying to figure out how to translate it, I saw a post on this site, but when I became a member, I can't seem to find it again. Is there a place on this website that can help with this? My father was born in 1930...
