Dean,

 

I think I can see OKA plus some numbers

 

So could be Hill then the number - like hill 124 referring to his position on an island ?

 

Yours

Dean

looks like GI made up kanji

It’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

I identify the following characters.

百五 – 105 + some symbol?

三宮隊 – Sannomiya/Sanguu party

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.

Thanks so much to everyone
