Capture from Okinawa- soldier ID, badge and flag portion

[drbill]

Bought a small grouping brought back in 1945 from Pacific campaign and captured at
Okinawa. Grouping consists of small piece of a Japanese garrison flag captured and
divided up among a group of young marines, a Japanese soldier ID card and a small
reservist badge. Would like feedback and any translation on the info on the card.

thanks

The soldier's name:

池田清三君
Ikeda Seizō-kun
Mr. Ikeda Seizō
[Ikeda being the surname]

Interesting grouping, but I believe the photograph is purely commemorative and not part of an ID.

yep

could be, that's what I'm trying to find out, what it is in fact?

The soldier in the pic is a superior private in a Type 5 pattern uniform, so between 1935 - 39. On his chest he has, from right to left, Showa Enthronement medal, Manchurian Incident medal, Sacred Treasure 7th Class medal. The 25 below his name might be his regiment? Aaaaand...... You've got his name too.

He was a brave guy!

That's about all I've got, hope it's what you're asking.

Also, his banner shows he's a member of the
