Various Military Commemorative Plates page 2

Commemorative small dish that appears to be a Boxer Rebellion item, though
it could be from the 1894-5 Sino-Japan War. The design shows the Japanese
Army entering China with Chinese people sitting on the ground.
Inscribed 'Banzai to Imperial Japan' and in the star 'Picture of the Fall of
Peking'.
Commemorative small dish that shows the Japanese Navy sinking an enemy
ship. There is a Russian flag on that ship, the St. Aubrey.
Commemorative small dish that has a Japanese battle flag and cherry
blossoms.
Inscribed '3rd Army.' The other inscriptions make this appear to be a product
advertisement. The top reads 'Trademark' and the kanji to the left look to be a
maker's name. The writing between the birds (to the right) says 'pure sake' I
think. So maybe '3rd Army' was the name of a sake.
Commemorative plate with Japanese soldiers and Chinese buildings and flags in the background. Inscribed 'Toyohashi 18th Regiment Commander, Colonel Sato.' I think this is from the First Sino-Japan War, but I'm not sure. There is some more writing in the background and around the rim, but I cannot make it out.
