昨日病院を訪問したあと、新隊員全員を中原調整員が1997年にソロモンで事故死した隊員のお墓と、太平洋戦争の戦没者慰霊碑に連れて行ってくれました
お墓はドミトリーの近くにある共同墓地の中にひっそりと建っていました
全員で墓石の掃除をして冥福を祈ってきました
またその後ホニアラ市内を見下ろせる丘の上に建立された戦没者慰霊塔に参拝しました
丘からは市内が約270度見下ろせ、周囲には花がたくさん咲いています
この狭い土地でわずか2年の間に、日本軍戦士が2万人以上亡くなったと思うと、あらためて戦争の悲惨さを感じさせられました
Yesterday, after visitting the hospital Mr. Nakahara took all of new volunteers to the cemetry of the JOCV who had died at Solomon by accident in 1997 and the memorial tower of the world war the second.
The stone was built in the public cemetry which was located at closed place of the JICA domitory.
We cleaned up the stone and prayed his soul.
After then we went to the memorial tower which was built on the hill where we could look down around about 270 degrees of the Honiara city.
Thinking about that over 20,000 Japanese soldires had died in two years in this small area, I realized the misery of the war again.
