Dead Japanese Honoured

Memorial Service for Two Killed Early in August Exactly six months after their death at the hands of Chinese guards at the Hungjao aerodrome, Lieut. Isao Ohyama and Warrant Officer Yozo Saito were posthumously hon-Oured in a ceremony held before simple wooden tablets on Monument Road yesterday morning.

The worshippers; including a detachment of bluejackets, were led by Lieut.-Commander Sashichiro Tadano.

The killing of the two men precipitated the commencement of hostilities in the Shanghai area four days later.
