When I was in Borneo the local village of Sepulot in the middle of Sabah had a memorial to a Liberator crew that has crashed. The wreckage was still visible if you knew where to look. Unfortunately for them the Japanese had a presence and an airstrip near bye.
The memorial consisted of a 0.5 Colt machine gun mounted on a stone cairn which was the spot where the Japanese beheaded the survivors. This was kept in pristine condition, the barrel being regularly polished, by the local Murats.
When you were galloping around Burma did you know at the time what happened to aircrew that were captured or was it kept away from you?
