Description | Jackknife, buckles, trouser fittings, etc. Donation / Tokio Matsui Approx. 790m from the hypocenter Moto-machi Masao Matsui (then, 48) was exposed on the job at the Chugoku Regional Military Headquarters and was trapped under a large beam. A number of his subordinates tried unsuccessfully to remove the beam. When the fires approached, Masao told them, "Don't worry about me. Hurry and escape.・On August 7, Tokio, his son, and Tokio's uncle came searching for Masao. Among the many human remains were some bones lying under a beam. Tokio identified them as his father's because they lay near the jackknife and the registered seal he always carried. |
