I contemplated on posting this field cap because of the language used by the US veteran who wrote inside of it but decided id share and hope you guys don't mind.
The veteran wrote a message inside the field cap and sent it back to his son. Shows you how grizzly the mist of war can be.
I believe the cap star was a double layer,with a separate yellow star stitched onto the background you see now. This field cap would have been a private purchase field cap. Material is better quality and there is no manufacture stamp. Under the fathers message is a date of 5?/20/1944.
Could anybody help out with the translation of the Japanese large characthers inside the cap or is it to faded? Greatly appreciated if it can be read.
Thanks for taking a look .
