Hinomaru Yosegaki Translation

[Belten]

Hello, gentlemen. This is my first time buying a hinomaru yosegaki, and I would like to enlist your help in deciphering any slogans that may be present, or the recipient's name! I compared the Kanji on the flag to the list in the translation assistance thread, but I didn't notice any matches. The only Kanji I know are the numerals, so I was able to recognize that one of the phrases includes a 7.

Thanks very much in advance for any assistance that you guys can provide!

7 Villages Pure Victory
Dedicate to the Nation

There is a village called 七里 but I don't know if it has anything to do with the sentiment. Hopefully Nick can chime in.

All the rest are only names of well-wishers. Oops .... except that last image:

健康ヲ祈ル
Kenkō wo Inoru
Prayers/wishes for Health

Excellent! Thank you very much for your work with this. I will include a note along with the flag.

Just to make sure, this doesn't say anything about England, right?

EDIT:
Hmmmmm.... the given name could alternatively be pronounced Hidekazu: 英[Hide]; 一 [kazu]. Ain't Japanese fun?

Thank you! That is great information.

See my edit: possibly "Hidekazu" -- same kanji, different pronunciation.

七里清勝 is just the name, Kiyokatsu Nanasato, who wrote Service to the Nation as a slogan
