    I'm 1/4 Japanese with my father's mother being a nurse for the Imperial Japanese Army during the war. She told me a great deal of stories about her time in the service, including witnessing the Doolittle Raid and spending the rest of the war in Singapore. They have rubbed off on me and had me go about collecting a lot of Japanese stuff, namely flags.

    These are the ones I have thus far, and hope to get more. Also included are several flags, Kempeitai armband, dog tag, and a grenade pouch. What's not included is an original belt and two ammo pouches that belong to the grenade pouch. I also have a civilian defense helmet that I will later use for my Japanese Army impression.

    Like to know what you guys think.

    I'd ceremoniously burn the Kempeitai armband...but that's just me.
