1st original of one of these I have found for my POW collection.

 

It is an original ID patch from the Hanawa (Sendai #6) POW camp in Japan worn by an American on his uniform while in the camp. He was POW # 347 at Hanawa (confirmed from multiple sources) and his name is written in Japanese on the front.

 

I have also included some original reunion ribbons from the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor, including one from the very first reunion in 1946 . 

He served with the  27th BG (L) and later with the provisional Air Corps infantry on Bataan. 

 

There’s quite a bit more with this group, but these were my favorite pieces .
