a letter wrote from a Japanese Kamikaze soldier to his wife..photos taken at National War Museum in Canberra, OZ




translation:

Dear Fukuko,

Fukuko, you have done so much for me over the years. I have been happy. Nothing in this life has given me such happiness.
I am happy, so happy. I will dive into an enemy warship with this happiness deep in my heart.
Please observe what I have said and bring up Shun'ichi to be a fine young man.
You were too good for me. I did not deserve a wife like you. I would like to thank you before meeting my end.
You are the only woman I have ever known. I feel you are the only woman in the world, the woman I have been loyal to.
I believe you feel the same. Remain faithful to me until the end. I certainly did. Chastity is the most important virtue for a woman.
Always seek support from my parents to help you along. Do take care of yourself.
I entrust Shun'ichi to your care. I entrust my son to you.
Forgive me for leaving you behind.
Goodbye, goodbye forever.
Goodbye.

To my dearest wife,

Seishi
