Peter Bleed Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 what kind of helmet is it? Peter Quote
ROKUJURO Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Dean,I think I can see OKA 岡 plus some numbers Quote
Dean1981 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Posted October 6, 2019 Dean, I think I can see OKA 岡 plus some numbers So could be Hill then the number - like hill 124 referring to his position on an island ? Yours Dean Quote
Dean1981 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Posted October 6, 2019 looks like GI made up kanjiIt’s a battlefield pick up, but I see a Japanese bugle scratched in not a US one. Also the helmet is round so writing in it would have been difficult im thinking Thanks Dean 1 Quote
Nobody Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 I identify the following characters. 百五▢ – 105 + some symbol? 三宮隊 – Sannomiya/Sanguu party 岡▢上ト兵 -maybe→ 岡崎上等兵 – Okazaki, private first class I think that the inscription expresses the belonging and the name of a solder. And an image of a military bugle. 5 Quote
