30. Hiroshima Post Office Workers Monument
You knew every corner
Of this town not shown the map.
The houses where you delivered letters from the war front,
The houses where you delivered parcels from Hawaii
You and those houses vanished from here.
Explanation
On the monument is carved, “288 workers of Hiroshima Post Office.”
As many men were called up in those days, most of the victims were females, mobilized female students, or students of higher elementary school.
On the back of the monument is the town map of Ote-machi 1-chome before the A-bombing.
Location :Ote-machi, Naka-ku
