General Nogi’s Strange Will

General Nogi, the leading military genius of Japan, who committed suicide just as the funeral of the late emperor of Japan was in full progress, suggests in his will that his body be given to the medical profession to use for the advancement of science. His request was that only his teeth, his hair, and his nails be buried in the grave.
