Flag signed by Vice Admiral Togo

[Papa Nambu]

Not the more famous Admiral Togo, Heihachiro, but his nephew Togo, Kichitaro 東郷吉太郎 who is a bit famous as well. He was the author of "The Naval Battles of the Russo-Japanese War" published in 1907. More about his career here http://homepage2.nifty.com/nishidah/e/px13.htm#v004

Nice flag Papa Was it found in Japan? or did it come back with a soldier after the war?

Came out of Japan, so hopefully Noyori made it home.
