Following on from the Taisho era Techo, I finally got my hands on a Meiji era one.
When I recieve it I will put all of my Techo's together and take a family portrait for you fine fellows to see.
Now from what I have been able to translate, the former owner was a Tanaka Nikichi (田中二吉), whom I believe was a commoner from Niigata(新県潟平民), and was with the army transport corps(輜重兵). A part of the 7th Transportation Regiment, 7th Division (輜重兵第七大隊第一中隊). What I can't figure out was his rank his address or his birthdate. I think, if deciphering correctly it was 1881 or Meiji 14
Front cover.
Document from inside.
Seems he was called up a few times, but only went on active service once.
Can anyone help me with what this section means/says?
Service history. Seems he moved around a bit. Any chance he served in the Russo-Japanese war?
Rear of Techo
I hope you like, and I look forward to your help and comments.
Many thanks in advance.
Matt.
