The photograph shows the site of one of the mass graves of the Operation Sook Ching victims. Mounds of earth are seen in the foreground, with poles placed in them possibly as markers. Many funeral jars are placed on the ground behind the mounds of earth. The site is an undeveloped area, surrounded by forestation in the background. This photograph was probably taken in 1966 or 1967. Date of creation estimated. Title devised by Library staff.
