To Nick's post #33, that would seem to make sense based upon the photographic evidence that I have seen. I have a number of photos (if I come across them during unpacking, I will post 1 or 2), that appear to show individual men, not groups responding to the army call (they are in army attire and appear to be readying to go off on the train or ship) with their Houko Bukuro wrapped around their wrists. Most of the photos I collected because these fellows also have good luck flags wrapped across their chests or are holding small nobori on poles along with flags. Some of the men exhibit time expired league badges, while others do not.
