Explanation in picture
Covered with wounds, I was walking around Hiroshima looking for my child. When my fever got too bad, I gave up and decided to return to my family home.
I meant to walk to Kaitaichi Station, but over and over I had to sit down on the road. "It's no good. I can't walk another step.・The stationmaster said, "A train will come soon, around 10:00. It will be a cattle car, but you can ride it to Hiroshima Station."
