        Thanks Guy....

        Would that be 9th Division? What do the numbers 2136 mean?

        I appreciate your help

          It's a tag for the 9th Mountain Artillery Regiment's Replacement Unit

          Starting with right side column
          Mountain Artillery 9
          Mountain Artillery 9 (補 = 補充) Replacement
          番2126 is the soldier's personal number

          I have no idea either but without more knowledgable guidance I would keep in mind it may have been repurposed for luggage, etc.

          Cheers!
