Assuming you care, if you photograph the medals again with less direct light, I should be able to read and translate them for you.

Tom,Thanks for the help. I have a few things you could translate. Rich A. in Pa.

Rich,

The medals read:

Patriotic Women's Association Regular Member

The writing the booklet cover:

Collection of Imperial Rescripts and Instructions

What else do you have? Not sure I would want to translate the booklet since I believe it will be archaic and Imperial Court style Japanese.

Rich,

The right column reads: Hongo Nezu (an area of tokyo and probably where the owner was from)

Left column reads: NISHIZAKA Sairakuro OR Seirakuro (the owner's name; the first name can be read either way)

Is that you have for now?

Tom
