No one Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Dear Gentlemen, I have this badge for an army special exercise, Shōwa 10 (1935), in Kagoshima. It was worn by the police and the fire department personnel. I understand the meaning, but I don't know how to translate into English the left part!

No one Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 Dear Japan : Do you know if there was a badge for those exercises? I quote David Bergamini's "Japan's Imperial Conspiracy" : "...(Yamamoto) ... Late in the spring of 1941 he selected the harbor of Kagoshima, the old capital of the seagoing Satsuma clan, as the site for carrier-pilot exercises in dive bombing and low level torpedo run. Aside from its historic association as the sixteenth century womb of the Japanese Navy, Kagoshima harbor was suitable because of its topography closely resemble that of Pearl Harbor."
