As shown in the photograph, there is age-related deterioration, but it does not impede the legibility of the content. My grandfather, who once possessed and kept this book, had the following military service record: - After passing the conscription examination with Class A, he was drafted into the 34th Infantry Regiment (Shizuoka: This regiment became widely known for its unparalleled bravery in the Battle of Shoushanbao by Lieutenant Colonel Shuta Tachibana, the battalion commander of the first battalion, during the Russo-Japanese War, and was even the subject of a song). - Less than a year after enlisting, he happened to pass the Kempeitai recruitment examination. After education and training at the Kempeitai Training School, he was assigned to the Nagoya Kempeitai as a Kempeitai Sergeant (meaning he skipped the rank of Private First Class and was promoted directly to Sergeant). - He was dispatched overseas with the Nagoya 3rd Division's expedition to Shanghai. Thereafter, he was transferred to various locations, primarily around Harbin, for bandit suppression and intelligence activities. - Unusually for the Kempeitai, who were often involved in desk work, he was awarded the Golden Kite Medal by His Imperial Majesty the Grand Marshal. Grade 6. - After being promoted to Kempeitai Sergeant Major, he completed his term of service in Manchukuo and retired. He then worked for a private company in Dalian. He was repatriated after the defeat of the war. Furthermore, he participated in the investigation of this incident as a Kempeitai Sergeant, and his name is listed in this document. Immediately after the end of the Great East Asia War, almost all Kempeitai documents from Manchukuo were burned and destroyed. Although this report was sent to mainland Japan as it was addressed to the Kempeitai Commander, Kempeitai documents were prioritized for disposal upon defeat, so it is unlikely to exist officially. While it is possible that someone involved may still possess it, this is not a document that circulates easily. Many Kempeitai who served overseas were executed as Class B war criminals at the end of the war. Thank you for viewing.
