I will re-look at my notes and have someone review the translation one time. I apologies for the disconnect and thank you for bringing it up. I will get back with you as soon as I can with some clarification. At this stage, I'm not sure if this was typo, a mistake all together, or in reference to something else being built in 1913. Either way, I'm responsible and will have it resolved as soon as I can. <br /><br />Thanks Again Anonymous<br /><br />Louie Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763801236968588173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701837450567381953.post-25565475913402867612013-10-20T19:16:16.491-07:002013-10-20T19:16:16.491-07:00I'm confused on the dates of this article.

WW1 was around mid-1914 to 1918.

The eldest and current care taker of the memorial lives just across from it, and she has been recognized by Emperor Akihito for her services in maintaining the site for so many years. She's an extremely kind lady. She will have top open the gates in order for you to take a good photo of it.<br /><br />http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Okinawa+Prefecture,+Japan&daddr=26.385036,127.727115&hl=en&sll=26.384902,127.727308&sspn=0.008958,0.016512&geocode=FTH4jwEdpEGcBynnW6vuYnD1NDHv0f2GcmG7NQ%3B&mra=dme&mrsp=1&sz=17&ttype=now&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=time&vpsrc=0&t=h&z=17&start=0Robert Mallonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962134633711600887noreply@blogger.com
