shiftycat Posted July 23, 2015 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiftycat Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiftycat Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted February 18, 2017 Share #11 Posted February 18, 2017 Great Flag. Ernie Pyle was with the 77th on Ie Shima when his luck ran out. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
