October 16, 20241 yr #1 I received this enshrinement book today, which came in it's cardboard case....I believe one of the large plates contains the name of the soldier that was enshrined. I also purchased the small cloth/aluminum mum ID badge, but apparently it's been lost in the mail, dang it. Mark sends

October 16, 20241 yr Author #3 Thanks! Do any of the pictures reveal the soldiers name? I appreciate all you do for this forum! Mark sends
October 16, 20241 yr #4 What specific soldier's name are you referring to? For example, are the names written on the page like the one in the bottom photo you posted? If there are any other relevant pages, please let me know.
October 21, 20241 yr Author #5 No, I thought one of the first pages written in large kanji would have the name of the soldier in the family that the book was presented to. Mark sends
December 8, 20241 yr #6 Sorry, I overlooked your post… The page you mentioned has the signatures of the chief priest of Yasukuni Shrine and Marshal Shunroku Hata.
