Thanks a lot Shinpachi-san. That tune is going to be stuck in my mind for a least a week!
Catchier than the Battleship March, though.

Sorry to tell but Myanmar's National Army song comes from IJN's Gunkan March (Battleship March)

Hi Ho, Hi Ho
to Wiki I must go!
(It seems appropriate to mention that the Star Spangled Banner is based on an English drinking song.)

WWII Photo Negs FIFTH FIGHTER COMMAND 1943-44 Xmas Card JAPANESE ZERO New Guinea | eBay
No title on manila storage envelope. I have four (actually five) different versions of this Xmas Greeting for 1943 from the Fifth Fighter Command. Each features a different aircraft in flight. This one is different however - as it uses artwork instead of a photograph.

WWII Photo Neg AUSTRALIAN FORCES Off Duty TROOP IN SHORTS Papua New Guinea | eBay
Relaxed, Off Duty Australian Troop. I've seen dates on the envelopes from 1942 to 1944. Papua, New Guinea. Old WWII Negative. I have my suspicions that it was P-38 Lightning pilot and photographer "Chet" Williams.

Based on the Anti-Comintern Protocol signed between Japan, Italy and Germany in Rome on November 6, 1937, Italian Fascist Goodwill Mission led by Marquis Giacomo Paulucci visited Tokyo from March 19, 1938 for a month. Italian light cruiser Raimondo Montecuccoli also entered Kobe on April 10. A series of these photos show enthusiastic welcome by the Japanese people at the time.

G'day mate! The officer is saying "Right, put the bloody camera away, mate, there's beers in the mess tent..."
Excellent. Name ship of the third group of Condottieri Class cruisers (of which there were 12 completed of five groups, the sixth group ships were not finished), the ship had a long career, being converted into a cadet training ship after the war and was eventually scrapped, with components surviving in a park near Perugia, Italy.

Japan's another anti-comintern ally Nazi Germany sent the Condor aircraft as a goodwill mission from Berlin to Tokyo on November 28, 1938. She flew for two days via Basra and Hanoi and arrived at the Tachikawa airfield, Tokyo on the 30th.

Shinpachi-san, can you give any information about the make-ups of two ladies in Kimono, in 5th photo from above?
