In 1930, the Japanese Army slightly modified the Type 45 tunics that it had adopted in 1911 by removing the piping from the top of the cuffs but retained the shoulder straps and standing collar with swallow-tailed collar insignia. The resulting style was designated the “Type 5 Tunic.” This Japanese Private First Class (probationary officer as denoted by collar badges) is wearing a woolen, winter issue Type 5 tunic. The patch on his right sleeve is a Diligence Badge.
