Légende

The Military Hospital at Chemulpo, 1895. First Sino-Japanese War. ' Sketch by Mr. E. J. Rosevere, H.M.S. "Mercury." The exigencies of warfare soon necessitated a hospital at Chemulpo, and the Japanese selected for this purpose a large tea-house, which was quickly arranged for the reception of the sick and wounded. From the hospital many have been carried to burial in the cemetery not far away. Within a short time nearly the whole of the ground was filled. The bodies are cremated, and then buried in long trenches. To mark each grave a wooden post is erected, but there is nothing beyond this to signify the last resting-place of those who have sacrificed their lives in this terrible war'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
