    3rd line from the left, Overseas Great Japan Sea Army Special something Land Battle Unit

    Card should be read from right to left so I'm going backwards. Not really into IJN so don't know their terminology, just being literal here for most part.

    It's a printed Happy New Year card from the year of the 2nd Shanghai Incident when the SNLF there was composed of 2400 men. Probably a member of the 4th battalion, equipped with 4 anti-aircraft guns. No mention of the man's rank.

    This man could not have celebrated the New Year's Day of 1938 in the same manner, as the government officially decided to refrain from exchanging New Year Greeting cards in a meeting dated 11th November 1937. This was officially announced within the army on the 15th and the navy would have done likewise. Army Ordinance 6936 forbidding New Year Greeting Cards from 1938.
