Hi Guys - Forgive me if this is a pretty elementary question, but I am way out of my league with Japanese items.
This cloth was brought back by my grandfather - he was a combat engineer in the 1st Marine Division. He saw action at Okinawa and did occupation duty in China. I'm guessing this is some kind of personal flag he got off a casualty or prisoner (or even traded for it of found it). It seems to have specific phrases on it, as I see similarities to the characters posted by Nick in this thread...

Can you guys help me understand what this is?
Thanks,
Brian
