Synopsis
Excerpt from Note on the Wounded in Naval Battles Between Japan and China During 1894-5, With Some Considerations on Sanitary Conditions During the War: Read Before the 12th International Medical Congress Held at Moscow in 1897
The attack upon the forts on the Pescadores occurred on March 23rd, 1895; the Japanese combined Squadrons composed of the Matsushima, Itsukushima, Hashidate, Naniwa, Takachiho, and Akitsushima leading the transports carrying a Mixed Detachment, subjected the Kon-peh-tai fort to a fierce bombardment. The Chinese garrison reply ing to this with volleys from their heavy guns, the engage ment continued for five hours. But no shell struck our war-ships and the guns on the Fort were silenced after having been nearly destroyed. During this engagement the Mixed Detachment landed on li-sei-kaku and marched to the in terior. At dawn the next morning, each war-ship ordered a landing party to advance as a reinforcement to the army. On March 25th, the whole of the Islands surrendered to the Japanese. During the course of the fighting, only one person on the Naniwa was wounded receiving a fracture of the lower jaw and a lacerated wound of the neck from the deliberate aim of the enemy. He was immediately treated by a surgeon belonging to the landing party and afterwards sent back to the naval hospital of the Port Admiralty at home, where he quite recovered a deformity of the lower jaw being left.
