Donor: Minoru Tonda, courtesy of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

Minoru Tomita (24 years old at the time) was ordered to go on a business trip to a division in Yamaguchi Prefecture. He was hit by heat rays and smashed to the ground by the blast. He was admitted to Iimuro National School, but his hair fell out and he had a high fever for over a month. This was sent to Mr. Tomita's parents' house as a relic by a nurse who expected his death. Mr. Tomita saved his life and donated this military uniform.
