Subject:seeking Translation Chinese Text Photographs Album Military Officer Second Sino Japanese War
Posted By: Lee C. Thu, Mar 26, 2020 IP: 2605:e000:1419:89e4:

Hello, I seek information contained in a circa 1930 into 1940 Chinese Military Officers personal photo album with some written documents. Some photos show American military personal. Photograph are of people and events with fair amount hospitals photos and family photos. (My first photo, on the top left the middle Officer with the glasses appears in numerous photos and is usually in front and center position, so I believe this is his album.. Seeking a historical context so it's history can be preserved. Thanks, Lee C.

Hello and thanks for providing this information. Your 'mosquito' reference helps me better understand other photographs within the album. Some showing sick wards, inside a hospital and in some cases field operations. Posting one last photo which is a photograph of signed flag from some related event happening in 1938. Regards, Lee C.

The round shaped inscription with "31" in the middle
reads,
慶國立同濟大學校 - National Tongji University School
(For further details please refer to Google)
The rest on the flag are signatures of students.
