New Lacquer Sake Cup with Translation Question

[Lost Patrol]

I have finally landed my first lacquer sake cup (and I'm very pleased ) and would like to see if someone can translate the inscription. (I'm getting better at recognizing common phrases but a lot of it still goes over my head.)

Thanks in advance!

It commemorates the participation of the 19th Field Artillery Regiment in the Siberian Intervention in 1920. They were a component of the 13th Division. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13th_D...Japanese_Army)

Woo-Hoo! That is a memento of a man named Yanagi, of the 19th Artillery, having been dispatched during the Siberian Intervention!

Note: Ateji ["Striking Words"] are kanji that approximate a foreign name/sound.
Today, the katakana シベリア are used instead of 西伯利亜.

Thanks for the help, guys! I've been getting into the Siberian Intervention as of late, and this piece is a perfect addition for my new interest.

Thank you again!
