In March 1969 a bloody military conflict happened on the Soviet-Chinese border, at the Damanskii (Zhenbao) Island. After the clash Soviet soldiers found a mess-tin at the position of Chinese. At the lid of the mess-tin there were 3 Japanese hieroglyths that meant "Miyachi". Possibly (though probability is about zero) somebody may say something about the man named Miyachi?

I think the same. I think that owner of the mess-tin was a Japanese soldier from Quantung army. Possibly, he perished. Possibly, he simply lost this mess-tin. Question is: is it possible to know anything about his fate?

Actually, I believe it's "Miyaji."

In the old, pre-war orthography, the JI in Miyaji (地) was written ぢ, and quite often the ten-ten were left out as people *knew* what the name was.
