Ivydiv Posted January 28, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 28, 2022 Do the two red lines indicate rank? Also, is the line that has the number 14 in it a unit? Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daskrieg Posted January 28, 2022 Share #5 Posted January 28, 2022 I think the red lines are just its design as far as the rest....no clue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivydiv Posted January 28, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 28, 2022 I saw another armband with one red line. Thought it might be rank or some other reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted January 30, 2022 Share #7 Posted January 30, 2022 I don't know about the red lines but the armband says: Top: 公用證 Official Business Witness --- 第14 Number (armband/person #14 in a sequence) Bottom: 満州2686部隊 = Manchuria 2686 Butai 2686 was the code number for the 25th Anti-Aircraft Regiment, which was ultimately sent to Saipan. The photo is upside down, this is correct: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
