Postcard sent by newspaper correspondent Edmund Noble to his wife, Lydia. Text reads: Hotel Wentworth, Portsmouth, Sept. 3, 1905. Dear Ma. The conference is now practically over; I shall therefore be home on Monday or Tuesday, probably Tuesday. The signing is to take place in the conference chamber, where all the negotiations have thus far been conducted. There's wet weather and fog here today. With love, Edmund.
The Siege and Battle of Port Arthur marked the commencement of the Russo-Japanese War. Porth Artur was the deep-water port and Russian naval base at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula in Manchuria. Port Arthur was widely regarded as one of the most strongly fortified positions in the world at the time. It was the longest and most violent land battle of the Russo-Japanese War. Russian land forces in the course of the siege suffered 31,000 casualties, of whom 15,000 were killed, wounded, and missing.
Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) was a military conflict in which a victorious Japan forced Russia to abandon its expansionist policy in East Asia, thereby becoming the first Asian power in modern times to defeat a European power.
