“Chinese Eye” Marking
“Chinese Eye” marking, Royal Tank Regiment, British Army. The tradition of painting eyes on tanks is almost as old as tanks themselves, dating back to the First World War. A prominent Chinese businessman named Eu Tong Sen gifted a tank to the British Army by donating £6,000, the cost of a tank at the time. He requested that a pair of eyes be painted on the new tank, a request that may have initially seemed unusual. This stems from a long-standing Chinese tradition of painting eyes on boats and vessels, based on the belief that a boat without eyes cannot see its way safely across the water. When Tank No. 2341 arrived, the crew of D Battalion of what was then the Royal Tank Corps honoured his request, painting a pair of eyes on each side. The practice was later formally adopted by the 4th Royal Tank Regiment. This more modern rendition of the eye was often painted on the turret sides of the RTR's Challenger 2 tanks, near the front.
“The King” Inscription
“The King” inscription, South Skåne Regiment (P 7), Swedish Army. Typical with many modern Swedish vehicles, many can regularly be seen featuring bold yellow nicknames during training and exercises. These names are often linked to Norse mythology, or otherwise depict grand or powerful words, names or phrases. This particular inscription was positioned on both sides of the turret on one of the Regiment’s Strv 122B tanks, on the upper side towards the front.

Personal Motif of Lt. Shuho Yamana
The personal motif of Lieutenant Shuho Yamana, 2nd Yuso Hikotai (2nd Ferrying Squadron), IJAAF. Lieutenant Yamana's role in the air force was the logistical duty of aircraft ferrying, a task that often goes overlooked. He flew various military aircraft from repair yards or factories to front-line squadrons, taking no part in actual combat. His defining marker was a leaping white tiger, which he painted on several aircraft he flew. The meaning derives from an old saying that even after travelling long distances, a tiger will always return home, safe and strong. Lieutenant Yamana’s tigers were all slightly different, but this particular example was painted in the middle of the tail of a Ki-84 that he ferried in mid-1944.
