Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with an Translation of a few sake cups that I had pick up? I think the red one, pre dates WW2. WW1 or Russo-Japanese War?

It says "Continuous Service Commemorative" on the front and "Komatsu" (a name) on the reverse (most likely the maker). There is nothing to indicate the date.

Thank you very much for you help and thank you Lorenzo. I have one more sake cup that I forgot to post. I think it say something along the lines of 15th infantry but I cannot read the bottom of the sake cup?

The bottom of the cup is the maker`s name. It is a retirement commemorative for the 15th Infantry Regiment.
