JapanX Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Well Larry, this doc was issued on September 22, 1944 Most likely award pay-off doc. That`s all I am able to (not much ... I know ) Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fukuoka Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Award for 6th Class GK, 7th Class RS, and cash award of 2100 yen. Navy sailor Petty Officer 2nd Class Maruyama [??]. The cash award is high, so probably a posthumous award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence Strong Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 As confirmed by the owner of the document, who also owns some of the medals. The guy who got these awards was named Maruyama Yasuo. He was killed on a destroyer named Asanagi which sank in combat May 22, 1944, torpedoed by the United States Navy submarine USS Pollack. Once again "Many thanks" Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can be sure that if this is a posthumous award, the date recorded on the documents is the date he died or the date he was confirmed deceased.
