Description:
January 12, 2008 - A memorial to prisoners of war is seen on Wake Island. The 98 Rock is a memorial for the 98 U.S. civilian contract POWs who were forced by their Japanese captors to rebuild the airstrip as slave labor, then blind-folded and killed by machine gun on October 5, 1943. An unidentified prisoner escaped, and chiseled 98 US PW 5-10-43 on a large coral rock near their mass grave, on Wilkes Island at the edge of the lagoon. The prisoner was recaptured and beheaded by the Japanese admiral, who was later convicted and executed for these war crimes.
