Unknown Scout Soldier Monument at Kodomo no Kuni


This statue is memorial based on a true story from a fierce battle that took place on an island in the South Pacific Ocean during World War II.
A wounded American soldier was approached by a Japanese soldier during battle. The American soldier expected to be killed, only to faint and wake up to find his wounds bound and a note left by the Japanese  soldier. Seeing the American soldier making the three-fingered Scout salute, the Japanese soldier – who also happened to be a Scout-felt he could not kill a fellow Scout brother and instead decided to tend the wound.
This monument commemorates the powerful bond that connects Scouts across borders.
