shiftycat Posted July 23, 2015 #1 Posted July 23, 2015 I have a Japanese flag that my great grandad brought home with him after the war, presumably from his time on Guam. He was "I" Co. 3/306inf. 77th Infantry. here are some higher res close ups. http://imgur.com/a/4Ejvu

shiftycat Posted July 23, 2015 Author #4 Posted July 23, 2015 I just wish there was more documented history on the 306th. I've been digging around for years now, and haven't found but a handful of pictures, a single book, and zero artifacts.

katieony Posted July 24, 2015 #7 Posted July 24, 2015 Very nice and glad to see that it is still appreciated by his family. Mike
shiftycat Posted February 17, 2017 Author #10 Posted February 17, 2017 Looks like I was wrong all this time. the flag would be a bringback from the IE shima/ Okinawa campaign
Brian Keith Posted February 18, 2017 #11 Posted February 18, 2017 Great Flag. Ernie Pyle was with the 77th on Ie Shima when his luck ran out. BKW
