This type of Paybook (Identity Booklet for Soldiers) was used during 1912-1930. This I.D. belonged to Private (First Class) Tokuji Nishimura. He served with the 18th Transport Bataillon of the 18th Division (codename Chrysanthemum Division). He participated in the Siege of Tsingtao (Qingdao). In the third year of Taisho (1914), he departed from Nagasaki (Japan) on September 13, landed at Longkou (China) on September 17, and participated in the siege of Qingdao from October 29 to November 7. On December 7, Qingdao fell (meaning occupation), received the emperor’s imperial edict of reward (meaning encouragement), and returned to China on December 7.

The siege of Tsingtao (German: Belagerung von Tsingtau; Japanese: 青島の戦い; simplified Chinese: 青岛战役; traditional Chinese: 青島戰役) was the attack on the German port of Qingdao (Tsingtao) during World War I by Japan and the United Kingdom. The siege was waged against Imperial Germany between 27 August and 7 November 1914. The siege was the first encounter between Japanese and German forces, the first Anglo-Japanese operation of the war, and the only major land battle in the Asian and Pacific theatre during World War I.
