陸軍歩兵上等兵 Army Inf. Senior Private 田附 Takuze 正己 Masami 任陸軍歩兵兵長 Duty of Army Inf. Lance Corporal 昭和十二年 Showa 12 八月 August 三十一日 31st
Booklets on Imperial edicts for soldiers
田附 Tazuke 正己 Masami
Apparently he made it past Lance Corporal to Sergeant later.
Of interest to NCO sword collectors, here's a storage bag for his sword. Curiously, the name is different. Given name is still 正己 Masami, but the family name has changed to Kawa___ 川? (can't make out the second kanji). If a Japanese man marries into a family with no sons, he may take the wife's family name and be "adopted" into her family.
