This album records soldiers from Tsukuba Town, Ibaraki Prefecture , who departed for military service in the Imperial Japanese Army, Navy, and air units. It includes many named portrait photographs of servicemen, as well as a special section honoring those who died in battle. Because each soldier is shown with his name, this is not only a military collectible but also an important local-history and genealogical reference. Albums of this type were usually produced in very limited numbers for local communities and families, and were not sold commercially. Many were lost or discarded over time, making surviving examples increasingly difficult to find. The album reflects the wartime atmosphere of Japan in 1940, when the conflict in China had already become prolonged and Japan was moving toward the Pacific War. Many of the men recorded here likely continued to serve through the harsh war years that followed. A valuable historical source for collectors of Imperial Japanese military material, local Japanese history, named soldier photographs, and wartime home-front records.
