Notice of Death in Battle (by Haikaishi)

My brother was second class of national military service. But the tide of war become worse, he levied to Kure marine. He had some education as a new soldier and sent to South.Asia. At 1945 June 19TH he died by underfed situation on or around Shougi valley of Phillippine. He was 31years old.

This notice of his death was copied to new paper and photographed by me. Now almost half century was past and quality of the paper was not good.

I feel very sorry for my brother as he died in strange county without any food. His remains in white box with only small paper written (Soul) was sent back to us June next year. An authority indicate that only families shall receive the (sole). It was rather lonely funeral.

As it is rather difficult to read, I will show you the statement of the Death in Battle.as follows.
