Remains of soldiers repatriated from Laos
The remains of 27 Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who died in Laos during wartime were laid to rest at a cemetery in Ba Thuoc district in the central province of Thanh Hoa on May 12.
The remains had been collected in Laos’ Hua Phan province since October 2013 by a team from the provincial Military High Command.
DNA tests were carried out to identify the war heroes in order to facilitate the search for their families.
On May 11, a requiem for war martyrs who died in Laos was organised in the province.
