WWll Official Document ??

Recommended Posts

I was recently shown the document below and am thinking it is some type of official document from the WWll era. The owner of the document was told it was either a promotion or award document.

I'm not looking for a full translation , but just a basic idea of what it is, and of what potential historical significance it may be. Any information will be greatly appreciated !

As always,

Thank you in advance,

Dave M.

Yes from my understanding this is a proclamation of a few promotions, from Meiji 41 (1908) - pre-WW2. Not sure of correct translation of the imperial court ranks

 

Promotion of the Director of the Shokun-kyoku (Awards Bureau?) Ogyu Yuzuru from a lesser 2nd rank to 1st rank Count (edit: here is his wikipedia entry https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/大給恒)

Promotion of Secretary Yokota Kanae from lesser 4th rank to 3rd rank

Promotion of Secretary Fujii Yoshigo from lesser 5th rank to 4th rank

This is the awarding of the "Order of the Sacred Treasure, Silver Rays" to Satō Yūtarō (could also be read as Tomotarō), who was a customs officer. 

The guys that Matt mentions (on the left of the document) are the authorizing parties and their ranks and titles.
