| Content: | This item is a nominal roll for 1st Company 4th Platoon in the Kure 5th Special Naval Landing Party that arrived in Milne Bay in August 1942. The Platoon leader is not listed, but related records (see above) indicated that it was OKAMOTO Shigeo. The roll lists details of rank, service number and dispatch dates for the platoon's 3 units and two ammunition units. The roll is written in pencil on the back of an English naval chart of Fiji that seems to date from the 1920s. There is also a pencil map of Milne Bay showing Rabu and Giri (in Japanese) and a pencil line indicating a possible line of attack from the south. There is no indication on the list as to its creation date. While the content indicates it was created after February 1940, it was most likely created in the months leading up to the campaign at Milne Bay. |
