Taisho 14 (1925) discharge commemorative photo album. Imperial Japanese Army Transport Unit, Supply Troops 3rd Battalion 1st Company. Based in Nagoya, Japan. This album opens with a formal portrait of. Lieutenant General Inoue Ikutaro. Beginning the album with a senior general reflects the strict hierarchy and prestige culture of the Imperial Japanese Army. It is followed by a group photograph of officers including. The album then continues into a fascinating visual record of military life and operations, including. Barracks and gate buildings. Horse facilities and cavalry animals. Supply wagons / transport vehicles. Why This Album Matters. The men responsible for food, ammunition, transport, horses, and military supply lines. While infantry often receives the attention, armies move through logistics. Many historians note that Imperial Japan often underestimated supply capacity and long-term logistics. Weak transport networks and shortages later became one factor in military collapse during the Pacific War. Because transport units were less glamorous and often less preserved. Original logistics-related Japanese military items are noticeably scarcer today. That gives this album special appeal. This is not just a military album. It is a rare surviving record of. How armies actually functioned. Early 20th century Japanese military structure. Pre-WWII transport corps history. A strong piece for collectors of militaria, military history, transport history, or rare photo archives. Shows age and use consistent with period. Before soldiers fought, others carried the war forward. Own a Piece of History. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.

Original Post-WWI US Navy Chief Petty Officer CPO Fouled-anchor Cap Badge. Very nice original item. Made in gilt and silvered bronze with a 90° pin-back fastener and barrel-catch. A little bit of an oddball item with straight USN, from other examples it might be pre-WWI and date to the Mexican incursion period. See my other auctions with military and other items!
