Rabaul Echo of Jap Brutality Reburial of Chinese Officials
Prom Our Own Correspondent RABAUL, August 21.
IN 1942, when the Japs had over-run New Guinea, two officials of the Rabaul branch of the Chinese National Party—Leong Nin, president, and Chan Yai Nan, secretary—were shot.
The place where they were buried was noted by other Chinese prisoners and by natives.
This particular Jap atrocity has not been forgotten by local Chinese; the bodies were disinterred, and on August 20, 1949, a re-burial was conducted in the Chinese section of the Rabaul Cemetery.
Hundreds of Chinese formed the cortege and paid homage.
