Is there an English list or database of fallen soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II?
For nearly 20 years, I have been in possession of a piece of fabric taken from a Japanese soldier by my uncle in the war. It has some writing on it, which we pretty much assumed was a prayer of some sort, until I recently set about translating the characters. Thanks to some good folks over at r/translator, I was able to gather that the words make reference to a fabric shop (which could either be where he original owner worked, or simply got it). Another part has what could be the owner's name.
I would like to see if there is some sort of database to locate the possible owner of it, and maybe make a connection to return it to any living descendants. I was told that it was taken from the Philippines.
Thank you, and a Merry Christmas to all who partake!
