About this work

Captain Matsuzaki sneaks up on the Chinese enemy with his infantry. He is known as a hero because he was hit in the thigh by a bullet but continued to encourage his soldiers until he was hit again and died. The Battle of Songhwan lasted only half an hour, from 3:00 to 3:30 in the morning of 28 July 1894.
