dwmc Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 I acquired this document at a local military store. The owner of the store had a manila envelope of approx. 20 of the identical documents and had no clue as to what they represent. (Nor do I for that matter.) About the only thing I translate is the Showa date of 1940. I was thinking a date of 1940 may possible indicate it may be a military document of some sort. I mentioned to the store owner, I would present it to the Translation section on the NMB and would hopefully find out what it is. As always, many thanks in advance, Dave M. Quote
dwmc Posted October 10, 2021 Author Report Posted October 10, 2021 Just wanted to mention, I'm not looking for a full translation. Only a basic idea of what it is. It may not be associated with WWll Japanese Military at all... Thanks again, Dave M. Quote
Nobody Posted October 11, 2021 Report Posted October 11, 2021 That is an honorable certificate from Army Infantry Major Tahara San’nosuke to an infantry Noma Shimakichi for his excellent result in basic shooting. 3 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted October 11, 2021 Report Posted October 11, 2021 Can we see another certificate? Are they all exactly the same? Quote

Thank you Mr. Koichi ! Dave M. 45 minutes ago, Bugyotsuji said: Can we see another certificate? Are they all exactly the same? The certificates I observed in the envelope appeared to me as being all exactly the same, however, as per Mr. Koichi much appreciated explanation, the certificates are identical, but I now suspect on closer inspection the certificates will have each individual soldiers name. I'll check the other certificates when I visit the Military store in the near future. Dave M. Quote
