戦役記念碑
Sen'eki Kinen Hi
War Memorial Monument
戦役 【せんえき seneki】 (n) military campaign; battle; war
總高三十一尺六寸
Overall height: 31 shaku 6 sun

縮尺二十分之一面
Scale: 1/20th approximately
I can't find that last kanji but, based on one of the dictionary definitions (below), it might be an older variant of 面
Also, I'm certain my ratio is incorrect, so I await Nick's corrections.
面 【づら; ヅラ】 (n-suf) looking like a ...; acting as if a [so I'm inferring "approximately"]
Usually I'd read this kanji as "men" meaning "mask" as in Kendo.

Thanks Nick! Sheeeesh ... I really ought to give up Japanese and study German. Or, not study anything ... "brain .. hurt".
What is the proper "scale" in English?
