Letters from a Battlefield

LETTER

These are letters written from a battlefield by the Iwoto commander, Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, addressed to his wife in Tokyo. Iwoto was very significant for both the US and Japan in the war. There were 20,000 Japanese soldiers and 60,000 American soldiers. The Japanese had little chance of winning the battle, and the Americans were sure to defeat them within five days. However, the battle lasted for more than one month. The number of American casualties was around 28,000.

Kuribayashi was the person who led the Japanese in the battle. He understood his mission clearly and analyzed the geographical features of Iwoto. His strategy was to hide in underground shelters; he was convinced that it would decrease Japanese casualties and delay Japan’s defeat. Digging was difficult and Kuribayashi was strict, but he encouraged his soldiers to write letters to their families.

Since the war, many efforts have been made to return the Japanese soldiers’ belongings to their families from the US. These include notebooks, diaries, family photos, and farewell letters. Knowing this situation, what kind of thoughts do you think the soldiers tried to put in their letters?
