I have not heard anything about this, before.
Disgusting, in multiple ways.
Truly a sad situation.
Continue to rest in peace heroes.
My KGV high school friend’s father was captured in Hong Kong when the British defenders last stand surrendered in Stanley. His group of POWs were transported by the Lisbon Maru to Japan. Unfortunately, the ship was torpedoed by a US sub off the coast of China. He and many others managed break out of the hold, avoid Japanese machine gunners and jump into the sea. He was rescued by Chinese fishermen but was recaptured by the Japanese. He survived the war and lived a long life. A documentary was made to tell the story last year.
