I picked this up this morning and thought I would share it. I am assuming that the bag is a comfort bag that was given to military personnel before shipping out and I know nothing about the tag other than the letter on the back of the tag is a possible blood type. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The back. -
Code on the tag, 6671, belongs most likely to the 93rd Transport Regiment, 93rd Division. This Division was formed in 1944 and located in Chiba Prefecture, Japan until war's end. 0 on back is most likely blood type.
The seller you bought this from has some nice stuff. I believe he lived in Japan for a time and culled flea markets, etc. while there. He has a smoking naval aviator's grouping with some ultra rare log books. Wish I could take the plunge, but alas.

Thanks Tom and I did run across another tag to the 93rd with the 6664 and it gave me a feeling that they were associated which doesn't bother me one bit since I don't have anything from this area. And you are very correct about the helmets. What he's got makes me think twice about what I am collecting.Comment
