Letters of the Lost Children
Angebote / Angebote:
These letters are works of fiction, each based on true historical events. The authors were inspired by an album filled with genuine school and graduation photographs of very young Japanese student soldiers.Near the end of World War II, there were so few men left to fight that boys as young as 13 were taken to serve in battle. These "Lost Children" remain unknown, as does the American G.I. who killed them in battle. He removed each photograph, both military and personal, from the pockets of their uniforms and, as was fairly common in war, the G.I. placed each photo into a personal album that he brought home at the end of World War II.This book is designed to honor these long-deceased, unknown student soldiers who lived and died for their Emperor, at what would become the last of the Imperial Age of Japan.
