Dog tag IJA – 2nd Lieutenant (KIA – Battle of Mukden!)
Original brass dog tag of the Imperial Japanese Army (陸軍) for 2nd Lieutenant (少尉) Hoshino (星野) Kumao (熊雄) whom served with the Infantry (歩兵). Measuring: 4,85×3,1cm. The cotton string was likely added afterwards and not original to the dogtag. Officers had to purchase their own dog tags and especially early, they never mentioned an unit. Japanese dog tags are very scarce, especially officers!
