The Death Railway

100,000 men died building the railway to Burma. They were mostly Dutch, British, French, and Indian. Some were lured from Malaysia and Singapore with the promise of good pay.
There are two large cemetaries. In one the men are buried by nationality, the other in chronological order as deaths occurred in the hospital. When the bridge was completed the Americans promptly bombed it. The Japanese forced prisoners onto the bridge hoping to the Americans would not bomb. They did, and hundreds more were killed.
