Nice Ones Russ!! Thanks for sharing!
Regards,G.
That second kanji of the given name is a killer .... I checked all kanji that had 月 "moon" as the right-side radical -- and cannot find one that pairs up with 市 to form a given name. Hopefully Nick can read it. My wife thought it was 朝市 Asaichi .... but that means "morning market"!!!! So that cannot be right; besides, the strokes on the left side don't add up.
The cap came out of Kure Depot
呉軍需部
Kure Gun-ju Bu
Kure Military Stores Department
第四分隊
Dai Yon Bun-tai
4th Squad
糸永 *市
Itonaga *-ichi
Ito = thread; naga = forever/eternal.

Guy, as always, many thanks for what you, and Nick, do for us!
I did wonder how you might get on with this one because it is not very clear, but your efforts are most appreciated!

Russ
Russ thank you for the information and for sharing the pics of your PO caps with enlisted insignia. Excellent pieces with wonderful look(saltiness) to them.
Cheers...Alex
I've tried to enhance the character to make it clearer but don't really think this is much of an improvement.
Regards
Russ
