This photo, taken by a Japanese soldier, depicts a skirmish in the Japanese and Soviet-Japanese border conflicts.

This photo, along with others, came from the estate of a Japanese veteran who served aboard Gunboat Hira (比良) from 1938-1939 during the Second Sino-Japanese War. According to the service record of Gunboat Hira, attached for reference (not included in the purchase), the ship served along the Yangtze River from 1938-1940.

The Battles of Khalkhin Gol were the decisive engagements of the undeclared Soviet–Japanese border conflicts involving the Soviet Union, Mongolia, Japan and Manchukuo in 1939. The conflict was named after the river Khalkhin Gol, which passes through the battlefield. In Japan, the decisive battle of the conflict is known as the Nomonhan Incident, after Nomonhan, a nearby village on the border between Mongolia and Manchuria. The battles resulted in the defeat of the Japanese Sixth Army.
