Japanese Rebreather:

2. Middle: It is a photo of a US soldier with a captured japanese gas mask.

3. First from right: It is a moder reprint of a photo about a japanese soldier holding the japanese flag. He is wearing the model 99.

Photo of a japanese soldier in a Anti-Poison training with the full equipment. Special thanks to Jareth H. for this photograph:

PostCard:

Postcard: it is a postcard about the gas trainning, they say:

-Front Guy: We are fine againts gas about the gas masks.

-Back Guy: We look like a monster squad.

Really Rare Postcard:

I had never seen this model. It is maybe the first japanese gas mask ever made. Thanks to the uniform, we know it is from the 20's. The masks seems to be a version of the ones used in the first world war.
