These materials document the military campaigns and related records of Wol-gok Woo Bae-seon (1569-1621), a prominent general and government official who served as leader of the Righteous Army during the Imjin War. Born in Hwawon-hyeon, Seongju, when the Imjin War broke out in the twenty-fifth year of King Seonjo's reign (1592), Woo Bae-seon recruited volunteers and led military operations against Japanese forces in the Hwawon and Daegu regions, earning distinguished service. For these military accomplishments, he received various official positions including County Magistrate of Hapcheon and was later inducted as a Meritorious Subject of Seonmu (Martial Proclamation). The 'Hwawon Woo Bae-seon Righteous Army Combat Record' comprises twelve types of twenty documents including the 'Military Service Record,' official decrees, dispatches, and other correspondence. The 'Military Service Record' documents the military achievements of ninety-nine personnel including General Woo Bae-seon and his subordinates, recording combat results of sixty-three enemy soldiers killed, six hundred and four slain, and one hundred ten wounded—extraordinary figures for a small volunteer contingent. These materials constitute precious historical documents for research on the Imjin War, with the 'Military Service Record' being the only nationwide example of an Imjin War-era military achievement report, making it essential research material for understanding the volunteer military activities of the Daegu region during that period.
