Note
A clever preprinted envelope for use by Japanese Imperial military, listing and illustrating the battles and victories of the Imperial forces. Printed February 1943 (Showa 18). A remarkable envelope in that as it is unfolded two sticks pop up with a string strung between them. Little paper flags hang from the string including those of Fascist Italy, Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, and Vichy France. The background is a map of the world with vignettes of battle scenes. Watermark on area reserved for writing a message reads, "Willing to keep shooting [fighting] until I die" - apparently a motto of the military. Label shows it is military mail. Text indicates where to put paste. Has the cypress figure of East Asia Messenger Army and patent application and design registration numbers.
