Japanese flag (Yosegaki Hinomaru w/kanji)
I have tried translating the the flag, some I can find...but struggling on it. It has 3 possible shrine stamps, a soldiers name and maybe even a date or location. I have only researched online...I am completely unfamiliar with kanji. Also other than a soldiers name, who signed around the red circle? Fellow soldiers or friends from home?
What I think I found so far is this;
On the far right side...it states a common slogan 祈武運長久, Ki "Prayers" Buun "Fortunes of war" Choukyuu "Forever/perpetually". or Ki Buun Choukyuu--> "Prayers for Eternal Good Fortune in Battle"?
Also on the top I see 奉公 hōkō for "loyalty and courage"?
Thanks for any help...I love history no matter where from.
