Description | Looking west, northwest, and north from the south side of the prewar roundabout on the north side of the Western Drill Ground entrance on the north side of the Kamiya-cho intersection. To the left is the pedestal of the collapsed Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese War Victory Monument (First Army War Dear Monument) at the Ote-machi entrance to Western Drill Ground. In the background, a few men are visible in the burned remains of the First Branch Hospital of Hiroshima First Army Hospital. In the center foreground is the roundabout. A large group of people appear to be engaged in some sort of work. In the far background, from left to right, are Mts. Ohara to Soko, Mt. Hiyama, and Mt. Takeda. Beyond the Western Drill Ground on the far right is the burnt firebreak wall of the Hiroshima Army Cadet School. |
