Military Region 7 reviews search and collection of martyrs’ remains
PANO – Military Region 7 has reviewed the three-year implementation of a project on searching and gathering remains of fallen soldiers and rolled out the mission for the 2019-2020 period.
Accordingly, from 2016-2018, Steering Committee 515 for search, collection and identification of fallen soldiers’ remains of provinces and cities under the military region command actively received and verified information relating fallen soldiers and their burial locations.
During the period, specialized units of Military Region 7 collected and repatriated 743 sets of remains of soldiers who laid down their lives in Cambodia during wartime.
In the first phase of the 2018-2019 dry season alone, these units searched and collected 110 sets of remains of martyrs.
In the coming time, MR7’s Steering Committee 515 and localities will expedite the identity verification, make a list of fallen soldiers and draw maps for the collection of martyrs’ remains.
