Other than the phots being upside down and/or backwards (which makes comparison difficult) tases look good to me. First one has a US homefront send home dedication on it:

Help with 3 Japanese "Good Luck" Flags

All three are nice flags. I had time to only translate the first one.
忠勇殺敵
Loyalty & Bravery Kill the Enemy
為木村源太郎君
Tame Kimura Gentarō Kun
For Mr. Kimura Gentarō
若林合名会社
Wakabayashi Gōmeigaisho
Wakabayashi Unlimited Partnership Company
Seal. I am not confident about the last two kanji -- the image is very fuzzy, but it looks like Daitō [Great Eastern]; I've never seen anything on a seal after "之印".
若林合 "Wakabayashi Go-"
名会社 "Mei Gaisha"
之印大東 "No In Daitō"

北島進君
Kitajima Susumu kun
Mr. Kitajima Susumu
The rest are names; I'm not certain about that first one ... it looks more like a slogan (because of the ...つ "tsu") but I cannot make out the first kanji:
*つ治
That last kanji can do with "healing" from sickness; also a component to politics 政治; mostly seen by *us* as Emperor Meiji's name 明治
