Japanese flag - please help

[anton67]

It appears to be signed by US soldiers.
I took plenty of photos of the soldiers signatures.
The top left part of the flag has a name and I think that it says:
Short Snorter Started by ??
F/o Glen F. Cartjoball ??
Sept 9, 1945 (Okinawa)
So it is dated a week after the Japanese surrenderd.

BTW, to GHP thank you very much for helping me by translating this flag.
This is not the first time you have helped me with a translation and I really do appreciate it.

I am still trying to figure out info on the other soldiers but it will be a project.

Here is the flag in my War Room.
