The remains of 22 war dead have been found from a mountain and caves in the central province of Quang Tri.
The remains were found during a search carried out between July 27 to August 21 in Se Pu and Ta Pang villages in Huong Hoa District.
The remains were found scattered along a mountain side and in some caves between three-five metres deep. They were buried at a depth of 20-50 centimetres, together with some artefacts such as AK47 guns, flare guns, nails, explosives, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shoes, sandals, military belts, hammocks, buttons, among others.
According to local people, the site was continuously bombarded by the US during the American War between 1967-1972. While residents were evacuated to the neighbouring province of Quang Binh, a military unit was based here to clear the roads for soldiers and goods to be transported from the north to the southern frontlines.
