I suppose the soldier's name was Kazuyoshi Nonomura, but the handwriting is so sloppy, the first character of the family name is hardly possible to read as "No". However, multiple signatures by Nonomuras are there, so must have been family. Many signatures, but boringly devoid of content except the usual "ever-lasting battle fortunes" wish.
