Nice flag. Small kanji are mostly names. Some of the large kanji are located in this thread ...

Yeah, it's the very first one (really! it is!!) :

武連長久

With the addition of "pray"
祈武連長久
I pray for the everlasting fortunes of our military

It looks like all the smaller kanji are the names of the people who signed the flag -- they're all regular Japanese names: Araki, Nakata, Wada, Yamada, Kobayashi, Nakano, Uchiyama, Minami, Suzuki, etc.

Oh, right side, second vertical line is: 香陸会 Kou Riku Kai [Kourikkai] "Fragrant Continent Association" (I have NO idea .... !!)
