Japanese post-rock band Mono wrote a song about that story- it was the first time I'd heard about it, when I interviewed the band last year. They told such a touching tale it stuck in my mind. It's an album they did in 2004, I can't remember the title now.

The title is'Walking cloud and deep red sky, Flag fluttered and the sun shined."
No wonder I couldn't remember it.
Those rascally Japanese!
It's on Rykodisc. Great album.
