　　A junior high school boy who was exposed to the Hiroshima atomic bomb by the explosion suffered burns on his face and hands, and on or about August 10, he went to the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital in Senda-machi, Hiroshima City, located approximately 1,500 meters from the hypocenter, for treatment. The burns on both eyes were disinfected with tweezers by Dr. Koichi Nagata, chief of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The junior high school boy was feared to have lost his sight due to visual impairment caused by the burns on both eyes. With limited medical supplies, the treatment was limited to applying antiseptic solution. Many A-bomb survivors were brought to the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital, which remained unburned, immediately after the bombing.

     Although Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital was an army hospital at the time, it also treated civilians on an outpatient basis. Although the hospital had a stockpile of medical supplies, it was quickly depleted by the influx of A-bomb survivors. A junior high school boy received outpatient treatment at the front entrance of the main building of the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital. Both of his hands were severely burned, resulting in peeling skin and blisters. Treatment of the burns was limited to applying antiseptic, Mercuro, and olive oil, and then applying a bandage to wipe and wrap the burns. The boy was exposed to the heat rays of the Hiroshima atomic bomb from the front of his face. The boy, who followed the burns from his forehead to his cheeks and the backs of his hands, received outpatient treatment at Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital. His right arm was supported by a close relative nearby.

 　The boy was a student at Hiroshima Prefectural Hiroshima Second Middle School, located approximately 1,790 meters from the hypocenter, and second-year students were instructed to gather at the Higashi Nerihei Field, approximately 2.5 km from the hypocenter, on August 6 to weed the school potato fields.

　On the morning of August 6, the first graders of Hiroshima Prefectural Hiroshima Second Middle School, consisting of six classes, were in the former Nakajima Shinmachi, approximately 500 meters from the hypocenter. Under the National Mobilization Law, they were mobilized to work on evacuating buildings in the Nakajima area, east of the New Ohashi Bridge (now the Nishi Heiwa Ohashi Bridge) over the Honkawa River. Just before the boys were lined up and their teachers finished their instruction, the Hiroshima atomic bomb was dropped and exploded. The boys were instantly blown away and hit by a vortex of fire. On the morning of the 7th, the father's corpse had already swollen up and took on a similar appearance. The boys, who reached home with burns all over their bodies and were taken to the relief station, all fell from near death to atomic bomb casualties. Approximately 344 students and eight faculty members who were at the site of Nakajima's mobilization were inscribed on the Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims at Hiroshima Prefectural Hiroshima Daini Junior High School, located on the left bank of the Honkawa River.
