Thanks everybody for your interest. I have pulled up a google map(attached) and marked the
cemetery and the old road from Ledo(India) to Kunming(China). I cannot vouch for the road that you see on the map, especially of the Burma stretch. The part lying in India is about 62kms(38 miles) marked as NH(National Highway) # 38/153 is actually a newer one lying off the Stilwell Road. My Burmese friend
Khine, tells me that the Chinese have built a 4 lane super highway parallel to the old road in China. You can actually get off while travelling there and get to see the remnants of it in parts.
Its officially not permitted to travel overland between India and Burma today. But I have in mind a tour this fall and co-ordinate with Khine so that we can possibly meet up at the border without crossing into each other's countries. Hopefully I will get some good pictures to post up here for you. Btw
this makes a good read of a related harrowing recent experience of a New York columnist.
As for more on the WWII buried dump see the original story
here.
And hey folks I just dug this
old stuff out....
Btw it is of concern that the discovered jungle cemetery is
still unkempt. I am sure you will agree that these dead courageous men buried in those graves deserve greater respect. I will be grateful if you could point me to the correct organisation in the US if any, who can be of help. I will be more than happy to do my bit. Thanks.
