DHAKA: Japanese officials in Bangladesh are preparing the bodies of 23 soldiers who died during World War II to return them home after more than 80 years, exhumation teams said on Monday.
The bodies were exhumed from Bangladesh´s Maynamati war cemetery, near Comilla, where more than 700 people from multiple nations killed during the war were buried. “Japanese soldiers were treated at the Maynamati field hospital, before succumbing to their injuries,” said Hillol Sattar, Bangladesh country manager for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which runs the cemetery.
