Ryojun (Port Arthur, Lushun) interview place (PR China)

The caption, which may be too tiny for the scan, says: “The spot where General Nogi interviewed General Stoesslor, Suishiei, Ryojun.” The only way we could find in Google to learn anything about this was to enter “Suishiei” because there were so many different spellings of Stoesslor, and sure enough, the meeting was in 1904 at this location near Dalian at the time of the Russo-Japanese war. Japanese general Nogi Maresuke and Russian general Anatoly Mikhailovich Stessel (Stoesslor?) agreed on a cease-fire in that house, which was owned by a doctor. Apparently the agreement was signed on the operating table. The card came later, of course. Grade: 2
