This continuation page of a soldier's handwritten service record details a year of nearly continuous combat across Shanxi Province, from an autumn 1938 operation along the Yellow River through successive 'pacification' campaigns in 1939, culminating in his death near Diaoshangou. Compiled for his family as part of a memorial packet, the document reflects both the intensity of Japan's ongoing campaign in North China and the meticulous record-keeping the Imperial Army devoted to honoring its fallen.
