We emailed each other a few years ago about the training/quality of the troops produced by Australia and Canada in 1915. My book came out last year and I see you completed yours too. As you are now working on the Pacific WWII and looking for Japanese sources do you plan to visit Japan? You cant go past the National Institute for Defence Studies in Tokyo. If you have any questions about the sources there ask away though I will say first up their collection is superb. Also the National Diet Library ( Tokyo also) has a full collection of the magazine "Maru" which is devoted to personal accounts and articles about Japanese soldiers. It has thousands of WWII personal accounts.
