Russo-Japanese War, Battle of Yalu River, 1904

Entitled: Japanese and Russian soldiers in fierce battle at Chiu-tien-Ch'eng, Manchuria (Yalu River). The Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) was fought between the Russian Empire and the Empire of Japan over rival imperial ambitions in Manchuria and Korea. The Battle of Yalu River was the first major land battle during the Russo-Japanese War. It was fought near Wiju (Uiju, North Korea) on the lower reaches of the Yalu River, on the border between Korea and China. The defeat of the Russian Eastern Detachment removed the perception that the Japanese would be an easy enemy, that the war would be short, and that Russia would be the overwhelming victor. The combat had cost the Japanese 1036 dead and wounded out of the total 1st Army strength of 42,500. The Russian Eastern Detachment suffered some 2700 casualties overall, including about 500 killed, 1000 wounded, 600 prisoners and the loss of 21 of 24 field guns.
