This is another original ID tag collected by the US 6th Army during the battle for the Philippines. The tags were used to train intelligence officers as they prepared for the invasion of Japan. The ID tags were stapled to the index card so I do not know what is on the back.
I am stumped. I could not find the first character on the right column unless this is some alternative way of make a number 4. The upper left is 暁 Akatsuki and given the given the the date it was collected—9 May 1945, and location, then this individual was part of the 14th Army Shipping Units. My first thought was this was part of 7th Sea Transport Battalion, but I really am not sure how to interpret this and would appreciate your help.
Thanks!
