Hi
A friend collects military medals and has an index card written in Japanese from WWII.
Can anyone provide a translation of this card?

the blue stamp print is in mostly kanji, so I can't translate that easily (i dont actually know these languages, i'm just looking at character tables) however, the katakana characters for pâÿ 'he' and pé¦ 'su' are in there.
the black writing however at the bottom appears to say
September 4th 1945, bankotsukuni (something) te R.A.A Lieutenant Colonel E.A.M Eachern ni (something something) su[/quote]
now just figure out the somethings and you probably have the last part translated |

The date does say µÿ¡sÆî20s¦¦n+Öµ£ên+öµùÑ, and I'm pretty sure the µÿ¡sÆî era started in 1926. This would make the thing dated 1946; I know little about WWII, but that's definately after it ended.
While I know ~760 Kanji, I can only recognise around 3 in the blue stamps, but that's mostly because of the changes that occured after WWII. Since I refuse to look them up, which is easy when you can recognise radicals, the pü+ is probably telling towards whom it is going. Whoever this IVsêåµëÇ is. (I'm not good with names.) |

EDIT - Nevermind, I'm being stupid. µÿ¡sÆî1s¦¦ would be 1926 thus making µÿ¡sÆîn+Æn+És¦¦ 1945.
:P i made sure of that one before posting, thanks for the input
i love this sort of crowdsource research type stuff. It's hilarious when 4chan finds out who someone is based on them being shown in a video of throwing kittens into a river for 3 seconds (not saying the throwing of kittens is entertaining at all), or something of the sort. |
