DescriptionThis is an original prewar Japanese military commemorative photo album relating to the 7th Company of the 25th Infantry Regiment, Imperial Japanese Army, based in Tsukisamu, Sapporo, Hokkaido.The album records soldiers, officers, unit ceremonies, and military training connected with the 7th Company.The photographs include:* Ceremonial decorations for the regimental flag festival
* Military parade and formation scenes
* Live-fire artillery training
* Group portraits of members of the 7th Company
* Non-commissioned officers and enlisted men
* Smaller group photographs organized by unit or sectionThe 25th Infantry Regiment was established in 1899 as part of the 7th Division and was stationed at Tsukisamu in Sapporo.The regiment took part in the Russo-Japanese War, including the Siege of Port Arthur and the fighting around 203 Meter Hill, and later became one of the important Army units associated with Hokkaido.At the end of the album is a particularly valuable personnel section titled:“Commemorative Photo Album Personnel List for the 7th Company Honor Flag Presentation.”It includes names, ranks, affiliations, and addresses connected with the unit, making this much more than a general military photo album. It provides a useful record for researching individual soldiers, unit history, genealogy, and the military history of Sapporo and Hokkaido.After Japan’s surrender in 1945, the former 25th Infantry Regiment barracks at Tsukisamu were later used by U.S. occupation forces as Camp Shitenberg, adding another layer of historical interest to the site connected with this regiment.The cover is marked:“Photo Album – 25th Infantry Regiment – 7th Company.”A strong original historical source for collectors and researchers interested in the Imperial Japanese Army, 25th Infantry Regiment, Hokkaido military history, Russo-Japanese War, Japanese Army training, unit organization, and named personnel records.The album shows significant age-related wear, including toning, staining, rubbing, tears, and other deterioration. There are also some pencil-like markings or child’s scribbles.Please examine the photographs carefully for the overall condition.Shipping
