A roster of units was found at the former Navy Headquarters in Tomigusuku City, Okinawa Prefecture.
The 93-year-old eldest daughter of a fallen soldier mentioned there visited the headquarters from Kagoshima Prefecture to console the spirit of her father.
In October last year, an investigation conducted by a non-profit organization in Kyoto Prefecture that collects human remains at an undisclosed site inside the command headquarters found cannonball shells in which a list of former Imperial Japanese Navy land combat units was folded. I was in the state.
The names and ranks of several soldiers were listed on the list, and after matching the names of the victims engraved on the "Cornerstone of Peace" in Itoman City, it was found that many were from Kyushu.
One of them, Masaharu Fuchigami, from Kagoshima Prefecture, went to war as a medic at the age of 44 and died in Okinawa in 1945.
Her eldest daughter Kumiko Chagi (93), who lives in Kagoshima Prefecture, visited her husband and her headquarters on the 18th.
Kumiko picked up her name list and traced her father's name with her finger.
And she went inside the command room and to the place where her list was found she said, ``Dad, I've come to see you,'' she was calling, her voice trembling.
Kumiko said, "I can't say anything when I think that her father was doing his best in a place like this, and my heart is stuffed."
