who the hell buries their dead during japanese shelling? Its not like these people do not know that a war is happening. Can they not hear the gunfire and shell whistling down? Is it not possible to have a couple of coolie ditch diggers dig the grave, put the colleague's body in there and bury it. And later when there is a lull maybe, one by one or two by two, they can come out and pay their respects at the burial site. To risk such short staff medical personnel is like putting all your eggs in one basket and then dropping the basket.
Seems to me like the Japs have already registered their guns on the hospital. For one shell to kill 11 people is very good shooting. On the same day as this incident, the Alexander Hospital massacre took place where the Japs went into the hospital and slaughtered wounded and staff. So, the Japs were close to the hospital and yet these people took the time to bury a colleague in the open. That's ballsy but stupid. In fact the next day on 15th Feb, the British surrendered. A needless loss of 11 qualified health professionals.
