Three documents with the same date for soldier ? exceptional or not?
A document case of a private infantry superior, name ?? : Katayose ???? I am not at all sure of the translation of the name, if anyone can confirm me (or not !) and tell me what the correct translation is.
This soldier was decorated on the same day (Showa 13 on 23 October) of the order of the rising sun 8th class, the golden kite 7th class and the medal of the incident with China.
It seems strange to me that he is decorated on the same day with these three medals, is it exceptio
Both cases are 100% original to the badges.
This type of script was in use until late 1930s.
It is another unfortunate misconception (to date cases with such style of script as exclusevly Meiji/Taisho epoch cases) that was created alongside with rules for dating higher classes of kite by riverts, rising suns by veins, etc, etc, etc.
Best,

The easiest way to prove this point will be looking at the order of auspecious clouds that was created in April of 19
