Autograph request
Postcard sent by Bray to Vice Admiral Uriu on 13th February 1904 asking for his autograph.
Baron Uryū Sotokichi (瓜生 外吉, 2 January 1857 11 November 1937) was an early admiral of the Imperial Japanese Navy, active in the Russo-Japanese War, most notably at the Battle of Chemulpo Bay and the Battle of Tsushima. His name has sometimes been transliterated as "Uriu Sotokichi", or "Uriu Sotokitchi", a transliteration of older kana spelling. The spelling is different by current accepted methods of transliteration, but the pronunciation is the same as the modern spelling for Uryū (うりゅう).
