Help translating WWII Japanese flag

Postby NickCT » Sat 02.09.2013 11:19 pm

Hi everyone,
I have a Japanese flag from WWII I was told was a battle flag, or a good luck flag given to a soldier wishing him luck in war and signed by family and friends. Would anyone be able to translate this for me and maybe confirm that? Thank you SO much for any help.

It's just a bunch of names. Nothing to translate here. Can't confirm the purpose of the flag, since I don't know anything about such customs.

Interestingly, some of the names at the top are upside-down, but not all of them.
