Overview

Japanese flag captured in the Philippines by the 1st Platoon F Company. This flag is signed by both Japanese and Americans. This flag contains the lyrics to the Japanese traditional song Umi Yukaba.

"If I go away to sea.

I shall return a corpse awash;

If duty calls me to the mountain,

A verdant sword will be my pall;

Thus for the sake of the Emperor

I will not die peacefully at home. "
