Officers canteen with kanji

[visor]

What do you guys think of this one? Translation would be appreciated.

I can't read the first line except for the last two kanji: Middle School:

中学
Chūgaku

The second line is his name, Mizunuma Yōichi:

水沼洋一

Hi Visor-san, Guy-san,

The characters are:

宇和島城南中学校 (Uwajima-Jyou Nann Chuu-Gakkou) - Uwajima Castle South Hight School.

Uwajima Castle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This school was built on a former IJN Yokaren (vounteer pilot training) Base, started in 1947.

Cheers!
Taka

......中学校

Thanks for the full translation, Takasan.

Demo .... sumimasen.....a very slight correction: the kanji 校 is not written on the canteen unless it is on the bottom. It SHOULD be there ... but it's not.

Oops, my mistake.

Sumimasen, Guy-san.

Cheers!

So why would this be written on the canteen ?

[SHINDENKAI]

Maybe used by a teacher or a student post war.

There is a picture with uwajima middle school mentioned. Says gun training 1936. Is this the same uwajima middle school mentioned on the canteen?

[SHINDENKAI]

I think that is one of the middle school in Uwajima.
Not necessary the one written on the canteen.
