    Military medical staff also got bayoneted as well as a patient on the operating table. Have any remains of army nurses been found at Alexandra Hospital, Singapore?

    All staff and soldiers killed were serving military. The whole subject is very vague and many of the locations of the mass pit given by so called witnesses when they were alive, have still turned up very little, although a GPR search was done a few years ago, I am sure better technology will eventually find it in a very large area on the site.
    Surgeons, Doctors and nurses were all killed too, and again the total has also been changed so many times, due primarily to Japaneseicon occupation for three years after it.
