Sketch notes
The fourth piece from the left in the middle is annotated as “Inside the castle in the Zhuo Prefecture”. It is a small town in Hebei province near Beijing and is now Zhuozhou.
At the first convocation, “Laishui County (Baoding City, Hebei Province) participated in the battle near Banqiaocun from August 20th to September 20th, 1945” is right next to Laishui County.
It is the tower of Zhuozhou now. Perhaps this series of sketches is related to this city.
