World War 2 Flag translation

[Jerry1834]

Any help with this Flag - supposedly named to Mr Hada from North Bay Hokkaido - any help would be appreciated

 

[nekojita]

A better picture (or pictures) would help - you appear to have taken the photo of the reverse side (words flipped). I can see maybe the name Harada (原田) but not Hada.

So keep the leather tabs to the left but flip it over? Thanks for the help....

 

[Jerry1834]

Can't seem to upload file to big to make it clear to read.

 

[nekojita]

Try using an external image host like tinypic (I'm not sure what the image size limit is here).

It needs to be flipped horizontally, not vertically.

 

[Jerry1834]

Any slogan's? Guys name and location? Really appreciate the help . This flag is going to a little display I have.

You already got the information about the presenter and the recipient.

[Jerry1834]

Not sure what I got - just want to make sure of both. Is there any other info I should know?

 

[Toritoribe]

It's too small to read, as nekojita-san advised.

 

[Jerry1834]

I am trying to match up the Kanji's and just can't make the connections but I want it right. Thanks for the patience.

 

[Jerry1834]

Would this be the Mining Co?

 

[Toritoribe]

Yes, as Majestic-san wrote in his previous post.

 

[Jerry1834]

Thanks Toritoribe! Now would Takeshi Harada would be to the left of the mining co? The 3 large dark Kanji's?

 

[Toritoribe]

Exactly. The first two is his family name 原田 Harada, and the last one is his given name 猛 Takeshi.

 

[Jerry1834]

Wow! You don't know how much I appreciate you expertise. Can you help me with a few more?

To the left of his name? Is this a town location? How hard do you think it would be to return to his family? Not sure if I want to go that route.

Many Thanks again,

Jerry

 

[Toritoribe]

Not really. It's a slogan 赤心報国 Sekishinhōkoku "Sincere Patriotism".

The company name 三井砂川鉱業所 and the soldier's name 原田猛 would be enough to identify him.

[Jerry1834]

Toritoribe ....again Thank you for your help and suggesting OBON 2015.

 

[Jerry1834]

Was able to locate everything on the map - right down to the slag heap thats there.

Can you help me out with the translation to the far right - 4 kanji's?

 

[Toritoribe]

The most common slogan; 武運長久 Buunchōkyū good luck in battle.

 

[Jerry1834]

Hope I did this right.......ありがとう!
