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.

A 1907 dated image of a Light Cavalryman. This time from a regiment that wore a silver trimmed sky blue shako. The headgear of the Cazadores de Caballería ran the spectrum from shako to fur busby to metal spiked helmet depending on the regiment. The uniform is sky blue trimmed white. The double breasted tunic would be replaced in 1909 with a single breasted model. His mount is decked out in regulation horse furniture, also sky blue with white trim and the Cavalry branch insignia. He is armed with a Model 1895 Cavalry saber.

My camo pajamas are long gone, probably ending their service in my Grandmother's basket to be woven into rugs. I do recall the helmet, however. It was a "Monkey Division" plastic helmet with applied plastic foliage and a black plastic chinstrap stapled to the sides.
