Thanks Chen you're a prince!! I appreciate you taking the time to translate.

Not at all. I try to translate word by word instead of an overall translation of the whole sentence as I think the reader will have more fun in reading.

Your booklet slip cover belonged to a member of the IJA 15th Inf. Regiment, part of the 14th Infantry Division. It would be interesting to know its journey. With the Philippine Island rubber stamp, assuming all came as a single grouping, maybe the soldier transferred out of the 14th Div. and kept the slip cover. The 14th Division ultimately transformed into the 14th Regimental Combat Team (Division) in 1944. Elements of the 15th Inf. Reg. ended up on Peleliu. Neat group!
