Japan // National Flag / Canadian Bringback

Japanese (Hinomaru Yosegaki) Good Luck Flag - Canadian Soldier Bring back - Japanese national flags with kanji characters surrounding the red sun disc. These flags were ubiquitous among Japanese servicemen, and prized as a souvenir by all Allied personnel. This flag was acquired from Canada. Although Canada's role in the Pacific and Far-east is not well known, a few Canadian troops served in Burma & Malaya; but their largest participation was the troops sent to the Aleutian Islands to retake the islands of Kiska and Attu from the Japanese; and it is likely that this flag emanates from that campaign.
