Any better and more photos? This doesn't expand.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

New images. I hope that is better
This flag is a one-look original. The person who wrote the dedication was a skilled calligrapher. Some of the others who signed also are skilled. Many names and slogans.
祝 召集
守田二郎君
Congratulations on being drafted [convened; called together]
Mr. Morita Jirō
召集 (shōshū) means to be drafted; however, I cannot find the kanji as written so I've replaced it with 集
Right side:
誠
Makoto: Sincerity
忠孝一本
Chūkō Ippon: Loyalty and Filial Piety are One
同心会
Dōshinkai : Unanimity [Same Heart/Mind] Club
忠誠
Chūsei: loyalty; sincerity; allegiance; fidelity; integrity
七生報国
Shisei Hōkoku: Give seven lives for the country
Left side:
武運長久
Bu'un Chōkyū: continued luck in the fortunes of war
必勝...
Hissho .... Total victory [can't read the rest]
死中在活
Unsure of the sounding; perhaps Shinchū Zaikatsu: While dying there exists life
NICE FLAG!
--Guy
Guy, it's 応召, meaning to respond to the call to arms
This is a great looking example. Still need to get one myself

Makoto sounds like a girl's (woman's) name. I like it.
I said, "Makoto" sounds like a girl's name. And it is. Only it doesn't look like the word on Shinsengumi flag.
It's a bit of tongue-in-cheek. Cheers!
