Lt. Gen. Tatsuji Ogura Research Project

[MJC]

I am working on a research project dedicated to Lieutenant General of Cavalry Tatsuji Ogura, Commanding General of the 127th Infantry Division.

I am having trouble locating information on him and I am hopeful some forum members will be able to add to his narrative, perhaps even a picture.

Thanks in advance,

Mike:

Have you tried:

If he was a military officer he would be there. I just finished a book "The Golden Kite" which contained the exploits of Baron General Yasumasa Fukushima and the above site was invaluable. Hope this helps.

I forgot to ask you, does the Westmoreland in your email address have anything to do with General Westmoreland?

Actually, that is a very common question. The name is from the County in Virginia from where my family hails. Geo. Washington and Robert E. Lee as well.

BTW, I've found numerous references to my research subject. Thanks again!
