昭和11年(1936年)2月26日(水)から29日(土)にかけて、皇道派の影響を受けた陸軍青年将校らが1,483名の下士官･兵を率いてクーデターを図った事件が、世にいう2・26事件です。クーデターは未遂に終わりましたが、事件の首謀者と将校たちの思想基盤を啓蒙した民間の思想家は銃殺刑に処され、岡田啓介内閣は3月に総辞職しました。当時、警視庁杉並署兼麹町署勤務（総理官邸配置）の巡査であった清水與四郎氏は、総理大臣官邸警戒勤務中に事件に遭い、機関銃などの乱射を受けて一命を落としました。この霊に報いるため、岡田氏の手によって6月この墓碑が建立されたものです。

From February 26, 1936 to February 29, Showa 11 (1936), youth officers of the Army who were influenced by the Imperial Way Faction, tried to carry coup d'etat with 1,483 petty officers and soldiers. This is the February 26 Incident. The coup d'etat was unsuccessful, mastermind of the case, and thinkers who enlightened the ideological foundations of officers were executed by firing squad, and the Okada Cabinet resigned in March. At that time, Mr. Yoshiro Shimizu, who was a police officer at the Suginami Police Department and Kojimachi Police Department (in the Prime Minister's Office position), suffered an incident while he was on duty at the Prime Minister's Office, and died after being shot by a machine gun. Repay to his spirit, Prime Minister Okada erected this tombstone in June.
