Rod Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Hi Leo, Wish I could give you something on the unit, Tsubo tsu Tai, but alas. Tai commonly refers to company sized or smaller (or it would be "Butai"), part of a battalion or regiment. Any idea who picked it up? The date and location it originated from may tell us who was fighting in the area at the time. Link to post Share on other sites

I just liked the name written on the side Link to post Share on other sites
Leo Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 Any opinions on the jacket insignia Link to post Share on other sites
SARGE Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Leo, It is hard to tell when rank insignia like this was sewn on. I am used to seeing it tacked on rather than sewn down with loops like yours. But, since the soldier often sewed patches on as rank increased there are different sewing styles. Not what I would typically expect of wartime attachment however. The rank insignia also looks a bit less used than the tunic itself from what I can see. Lastly, wartime jackets often show original insignia re-sewn to them so I would not worry about them too much. I hope this is helpful. "You can't please everyone so you have got to please yourself." Ricky Nelson Link to post Share on other sites

Thankyou Sarge I agree that we couldn’t verify when it was added Link to post Share on other sites
