Original Imperial Japanese WWII U.S. GI Captured & Signed Silk Meatball Flag with 39 Signatures - 26 ½ x 36” Military Audio by the C-5 transporter aircraftOriginal Item. One of a Kind. This is a lovely USGI Bring Back from WWII: an original Japanese WWII "Meatball" National flag, captured and signed by the soldiers that captured it. They added their names and hometowns, with 39 signatures total. From the names we were able to identify, it looks like the majority of these men arrived overseas around April May 1945, so they likely saw some of the end of the fighting along with occupation in Japan.
