    All I can read in Chinese or Japanese are the dates:

    Post #3, portrait of the tank = Year 8, Month 12, Day 8

    Post #14, officer on table inside building = Year 8, Month 13 (!!!), day 6

    Posts #s 16, 17, 19,20, and 21 which have a photographer's caption printed across the label = Year 8, Month 10, Day 14 but written in Western numbers!!!

    Post #18 at the railway station = Year 9, Month 5, Day 19

    and

    Post #22 with trees = Year 9, Month 4 Day 5 (?)

    BUT...

    from what "0" are these years 8 and 9 being counted??????? From the start of Emperor Hirohito's reign, so 1934/35 ?
