During the Battle of Okinawa in March 1945 (Showa Year 20) the Himeyuri unit was formed as a military's request and 320 High School students were assigned as special volunteer nursing unit for the Japanese at the Army Hospital in Haebaru. They continued their nursing activities in a narrow cave where the ground was soaked, 17~18 year old students were working under very difficult circumstances, hungry and exhausted, caring for the injured soldiers in the cave. As the troops went south, casualties amongst them began to happen. The cave nearby was surrounded by enemy troops at the place where there was a Third Surgical Unit and it was impossible to go out even one step.
