Anyone read Vietnamese or Korean?

I've had this for awhile, and the only reason I bought it (from the Swap Meet) is because it looked good and had everything there. I think it is Vietnamese or Korean. Can anyone translate or make out what it is? It might be Japanese, but it doesn't look like it. :(

Oooooh. So it is Taiwanese, and it honors the military history or battle?

 

Thanks guys, wish I could find it's age. I like the look. :D

 

If you read Nobody's link you can find out that it has to be younger than WWII, and commemorates fighting between the Nationalist Chinese based on Taiwan, and the Communist Chinese based on the mainland. It looks like a souvenir of the fortress there, probably produced over a number of years in the 1950's, 60', 70's, 80's and so on. The object is probably made in Taiwan, so Taiwanese, although the mainland Chinese people would object to calling it this. The writing itself is not really Taiwanese, but more correctly traditional 'Chinese'.
