kia army helmet

[delibes]

Hi, This helmet came in today and i manipulated it with the most respect.

It is an army helmet in his presentation box as memory for relatives of the deceased soldier.
The top of the box reads personal item from the deceased Mr Tajima.
There is a sealed letter addresses to the Tajima family, whose son was part of the "north china despatch remote unit",
Itai unit, Takada corps, Akagi division. Red lettering so military post.
Back of the letter "okayama prefecture Kojima" from Kyoko Tanabe 'perhaps she was responsible for the writting of the letters to the families of deceases in the area.

Bottom of the box contains a fragment of a wartime newspaper illustrating the battle where he most likely was killed.
There is no liner in the helmet.
This is what is written with the helmet as traduction.

Regards
Delibes

Hi,

The letter has never been opened?
The damage to the helmet explains why the liner was removed.
The news paper looks very interesting.
Whats the date on it? Aslso the date on the letter?

Cheers,

Danger
