Hi! Just want to share My IJN/NLF photo grouping with the exact officer on the 4 photo, it has a kanji writings on the opposite side if somebody can help me translate it I will greatly appreciate it. I got this lot including a lithographic copy of instrument of surrender of Japanese forces in Morotai Island South West Pacific Area and also a wartime Map. I got this whole WW2 lot from a Japanese Militaria collector in Australia.

If you're going to ask for a translation, could you at least please properly scan the back photograph? A good portion of the pencil writing is illegible due to JPEG compression, poor lighting and lack of focus. I can also probably read the nametag of the "officer" if it's scanned properly. All of the dated photos are between 1943-44. None of them depict an officer, but rather a petty officer. Again the photos are too blurry, but he appears to be an engineer or paymaster.
