10 Beheaded Bodies Unearthed by British
HONGKONG (AP) – British military authorities seeking evidence of Japanese atrocities here have found the remains of ten beheaded persons believed to be British and Canadian prisoners of war. A Chinese pressed into service by the Japanese as a grave digger disclosed where the victims were buried.
The British believe executions occurred approximately the day Hong-kong fell to the Japanese in 1941.
