Made to face the sea and shot in the back no less...there were at least three documented war crimes committed by the Japanese at Gasmata. I've also been to the site in Kavieng where the Australian nurses were butchered, and to Toll Plantation where the Australians were bayoneted. One of whom survived to tell of the crime. There are still a lot of war relics scattered across New Britain, and down the east coast of New Ireland.
