WWII Imperial Japanese Army Transport Regiment Badge Second Sino-Japanese War

  
WWII Imperial Japanese Army Logistics Badge - 14th Transport Regiment. What is the 14th Transport Regiment? The 14th Transport Regiment was part of the Imperial Japanese Army's logistics and supply units, responsible for transporting food, ammunition, and medical supplies to the battlefield. "Shichouhei" refers to military transport troops who played a crucial role in maintaining Japan's military operations. This regiment was originally stationed in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, before being deployed to China.

During the Second Sino-Japanese War, they supported frontline troops by ensuring a steady supply chain through difficult terrain. This badge was issued to commemorate the regiment's participation in the war and was likely awarded to soldiers or their families. The front side features a star emblem, an army convoy including soldiers, horse-drawn carts, and trucks, symbolizing military logistics. The back side is engraved with "Second Sino-Japanese War" and "14th Transport Regiment" , along with "Toyama" , indicating the regiment's origin. Unit insignia like this are rare, as transport regiments were not frontline combat units and had fewer commemorative items issued.

This is a historically significant piece of WWII Japanese military memorabilia, perfect for collectors and historians. Condition: Some signs of wear due to age, please check photos for details.
