DNA appeal for Myanmar fallen
Print Edition
AN anthropological lab at Fudan University is seeking DNA samples from families of Chinese Expeditionary Force members who died fighting the Japanese army in Myanmar during World War II in a bid to identify remains.
The lab team has already tracked down the hometowns of 27 soldiers through matching DNA samples from remains with records in the lab’s DNA database, reported Wenhui Daily yesterday.
Researchers from the Northwest University in Xi’an in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province asked Fudan to help.
Fudan has established a special DNA lab and will continue trying to identify all the 347 soldiers, ensuring that they can finally “go home,” Wenhui reported.
Some 100,000 Chinese soldiers were sent to Myanmar in 1942 to protect the Yunnan-Myanmar Road. In 1945, little more than 3,000 returned.
