Description
Looking north from the south side of the prewar roundabout on the north side of the Kamiya-cho intersection, north of the entrance to the Western Drill Ground. In the foreground is the roundabout. A large group of people appear to be engaged in some kind of work. Behind them are the burnt ruins of the Hiroshima First Army Hospital First Branch Hospital. Beyond the Western Drill Ground on the right the burned-out firewall of the Hiroshima Army Cadet School can be seen.
