I can't fully read the handwriting but it says Wake Island, January 12th, 1942. The sign reads "2nd Company HQ". The second company in the Wake Island capture unit was a specially raised unit under the 6th Base Force. Their company commander Special Duty Ensign Takano Toyoji was killed during the assault on the island, so this officer is likely Takano's replacement or a subordinate platoon commander.
Very historically valuable photo, please consider selling it or donating it to my organization.
