Remains of Japanese soldiers found on Peleliu Island after the war (March 1972)
Related to the Pacific War and Battle of Peleliu. Remains found on Peleliu Island after the war. The remains of a Japanese soldier were found around a well, along with water bottles and rice containers riddled with holes from gunfire and shells. The well, called "Horseshoe Pond," was a valuable source of drinking water on Peleliu Island, and after it fell into the hands of the U.S. military, the blood of many Japanese soldiers was spilled in search of water.
