Dated November 9, 1939, this letter from the commanding officer of the Muroya Unit to Mr. Yonekura Kenzo continues the correspondence documenting the death of his son, an Army Infantry Sergeant killed in action in Shanxi Province earlier that year. Such follow-up letters, sent months after the initial notification, reflect the sustained personal attention Japanese unit commanders gave to bereaved families during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
