I like it! It shows drills, inspections, marksmanship, drinking .... the daily life of a -- as Kipling called it -- "sojer".

I need Nick's expertise though ... the one panel showing jukenjutsu has it labeled "Jūsō". I cannot find that term in Al Gore's invention (aka internet). The separate kanji mean "rifle" and "manipulate/maneuver/operate."


銃操
Jūso

I would have expected
銃剣術
Jūkenjutsu

I think it's earlier than WW2.

I think it's earlier than WW2.

Definitely. Either Meiji or Taisho, I would think. There is an image of a woman walking with an officer wearing a fore-and-aft hat; they look “Victorian.”



From this panel:

生兵外出
Seihei Gaishutsu -- Student Soldiers Going Out

i posted this on Facebook in a group and they agree it looks to be earlier one person said 1900

[ghp95134]

Hmmmm .... 1900 = Meiji 33.

just googling different era uniforms in a silhouette form would all look very similar.
