Help with a name

[Paul G]

Hello everyone,
I am looking for help with this name on a flag. I think it is the presenters name. Thank you for your help,

Paul,

Can we see the full verse? So far I think I see:

...をつき右手乃剣は
打ちれるとも
....

Something like:

"...to thrust with the sword in the right hand
is surely able to hit... "

[Paul G]

Thanks Guy

Oops, here it is Guy. The seller translates it as:

"Even if the sword of the right hand is broken even if a bullet runs out, continue fighting. Yamato Bushi."

N-I-C-E !!! I like that.

I think I have most of it:

彈丸をつき右手の剣は
Dangan o tsuki migite no ken wa
A bullet strikes the sword's right hand

折れるとも
Orerutomo
Even if becomes broken

?てや肉彈
?-te ya nikudan
~ing and human bullet

大和武士
Yamato Bushi
Japanese Samurai

Hopefully Nick comes along ... laughs to himself a bit .... then (with a straight face) makes the necessary corrections.

Even if ammunition gets exhausted and the sword struck out of his right hand, a warrior of Yamato will still have his own body to charge into the melee.　Using　宇 in this way as verb is incorrect Japanese, but the meaning is still clear.

OOoooooooo Nick! That is a great translation.

We've sorely missed you! Hope your "In-N-Out" revolving hospital door has finally ceased to spin.

Came back today with fresh sutures in both forearms. Hair washing tonight will have to be an exercise in slow motion.
