	Japanese Army uniforms in 1914, and during WW1
		In 1894, in a squabble over Korea, the Japanese army and navy walked over their Chinese rivals, and ten years later won convincingly a war to check Russian influence in the East.
		Japanese uniforms had remained virtually unaltered since their inception, but the experience of war in 1904 led to the adoption of a more neutral colour, in advance of some European armies, and by 1914 the khaki service dress shown in the first plate was in general use.
		Equipment was worn in fl leather with this uniform, and the trousers were worn with white gaiters, knee length with buttons and buckles at the top and under the instep.

		Japanese staff officers were having great difficulty even locating Nomonhan on their operational maps, so there seemed no reason to believe that additional force might be required to resolve the affray.
		To paraphrase the official Japanese history of Nomonhan, clearly a Japanese lack of firepower was the main reason for the emphasis on spiritual training, but contributing to the intangible factors was an absolute faith in night combat, especially a night attack that culminated in handto-band combat with the enemy.
		After the battle, Japanese army psychologists isolated four elements of combat that most affected the morale of attacking shock troops: the distance to the objective, the clarity of it in troops' minds, any sudden change in the objective, and unexpected losses when taking the objective.

		Posted - 03/04/2007 : 7:02:21 PM I'd rank Hewett's "Uniforms and Equipment of the Imperial Japanese Army In World War II" head and shoulders over the Nakata book.
		His section on helmets, which is one of the most sought-after pieces of Japanese militaria today, is very weak & with poor photos too, and limited looks of such important things as stamps & markings, close-ups of the star and it's prongs, and liner & chin-tape details.
		He did a good job on covering almost all the items the Japanese army would use, as far as field gear and personal items.

		Little has been published in English on the Japanese Army Air Force, yet from the arid plains of the Mongolian border region to the lush jungles of New Guinea, the JAAF was more than a match for the many opponents it fought against for control of the skies.
		The army was as vast as the territory from which it was drawn, and the infantry were capable of astonishing feats and total, blind obedience to orders.
		The rifle corps of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars are among the most recognisable of all the soldiers of that era: their distinctive dark green uniforms are as familiar as some of their exploits.
