    translation of two japanese flags

    Hello,

    Could you help me to translate the inscriptions of these two Japanese flags please?

    Thank you very much.

    Flag # 1:











    Flag # 2:










    #2
    Flag 1.

    祈武運長久
    Ki Buun Chōkyū
    Prayers for Everlasting Fortune on the Battlefield

    宇佐美 守君

    Usami Osamu-kun
    Mr Usami Osamu
    Other readings for the given name

    The rest are signatures of well-wishers.


    Flag 2.
    The poem at the upper right is too stylized for me to read.

    Top:
    必勝
    Hisshō
    Total Victory!

    top-right of meatball:
    意気
    Iki
    spirit; heart; disposition

    right:

    勝って帰れ
    katte kaere
    Win & Return

    皇軍萬歳
    Kōgun Banzai
    Long Live the Imperial Army

    Far right, middle:
    征戰凱歌
    Seisen Gaika
    Military Expedition Triumphal Song
    [The equivalent would be when Henry V, after winning Agincourt, says: "Sing Non Nobis and Te Deum!"]
    Non Nobis

    top-left of meatball:
    大和心
    Yamato-gokoro
    Japanese Spirit

    Middle-left
    祈健闘
    Ki Kentō
    Pray that you fight bravely

    Top left:
    自重自愛
    Jichō Jiai
    Take care of yourself
