Suketarō Shigeuji, of Tannowa in the Province of Izumi, states the following military service:

  • On the thirteenth day of this month, at the battle of Yokoyama, during which Tsuzuki Heizō served as a witness;

As such, we respectfully request that you swiftly appose your seal so that this document can serve as a proof in the future.
