The remains of 55 Vietnamese soldiers who died in the Vietnam War have been unearthed in the central province of Quang Ngai, local news websiteVnExpress reported.

The remains of 47 soldiers were found in a ditch in Nghia Hanh District’s Cho Chua Town, while the others were discovered in a mass grave some 300 meters away, the news source said.

Nguyen Cao Tu, a representative from the Quang Ngai Military Headquarters, said personal effects were found in the graves.

Witnesses said several other graves are still to be unfound across the district.
The excavation is ongoing.
