A few years ago, I hiked the Sandakan Death March route and we went to the "Last Camp" which had only recently been re-discovered since the War Graves teams went through there in 1945. The Jap Army murdered British and Australian POW's there two weeks after the war ended! The historian I was with took a metal detector there a few years later and found bundled buttons and army insignia, buried in a sort of time capsule fashion by the ill-fated POW's.

Rotten bastards...
