Remains of fallen soldiers repatriated from Cambodia


Binh Phuoc: Forty-three remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who sacrificed their lives during wars in Cambodia, arrived home on January 25, with the welcoming ceremony held at the Hoa Lu international border gate in the southern province of Binh Phuoc’s Loc Ninh district.

Taking place in the two Cambodian provinces of Kratie and Kampong Thom, the search mission for these unidentified remains by the Binh Phuoc Military Command’s team K72 began on November 9 last year and lasted for 78 days.

Binh Phuoc will organise a memorial service and burial for the remains at the provincial martyrs’ cemetery.

So far, 2,844 sets of remains from fallen heroes have been collected and repatriated by team K72 after more than two decades./.
