cbuehler Posted December 27, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 27, 2019 All, This tag to Harada is attached to his sword belt. I recall some info that he was chief of staff to a division in the Philippines, but have lost the info long ago. Please help if possible! Thanks much, CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Activated on Luzon, the Philippines June 15, 1944. Infantry component was the 81st and 82nd Infantry Brigades.

Last name: 原田 Harada Given name 義尚 Yoshitaka, Yoshihisa, Yoshinao I have this postcard from the 105th Division Headquarters, the code name and number are at the bottom of the 2nd row from the left (no censor stamp so may not have been mailed).
