    We need to see a tag before we can say which dog.

    A Japanese camouflaged tag perhaps?

    Super nice one-looker "depot" tag. Don't have my numbers with me, but I am sure someone will chime in. Been following this for awhile. Didn't think "the juice was worth the squeeze" originally, but don't know anymore. Seems like somewhat of a drought these days online for a whole spectrum of nice, authentic items.

    When this man joined, the war was already in full swing, so the tag only got stamped from the middle line saying "East 59", which stood for the replacement unit for the 32nd Inft. Rgt. After that boot camp, he was sent out to join unit 1160, which stood for General HQ of the Southern Expeditionary Army Group.

    Very interesting. Where was the Southern Expeditionary Army Group headquartered?

    They started out in Saigon in late 1941, then unto Singapore, further to Manila in Spring 1944. Then back to Dalat, Vietnam in November 1944, where they stayed till the end of the war.
