Descendants of expeditionary soldiers and volunteers arrived in Myitkyina on Wednesday morning. They will take remains of the 347 soldiers home on Thursday, November 5, 2015. This is the largest collection of such remains ever to be returned. It will arrive in southwest China’s Yunnan province on Thursday.
