What the people kindly did for Japanese soldiers !


by Kazu

Considering the effects of the global warming, some embankment may be required in coming decades. But, so far so good on the back side of the monument for the deceased Japanese soldiers on Peleliu Island.
Almost all the participants to the memorial service for the Japanese soldiers  took their seats for the ceremony.
When His Majesty the Emperor of Japan visited the island one year prior to ours, His Majesty left a Japanese traditional poem of thirty-one syllables there. 

"The green island where many people passed away in the battle, lies on the blue ocean."
