Tombs
in Bukpyongmyoun
These tombs, made during Japanese colonization,
are located in Nampyongri, Jeongseongoon.
On September 8 1908, about 50 Korean troops,
led by Mr Kangnyoun Lee, passed by Nampyongri,
Bukmyoun. In that place were some concealed
Japanese troops, waiting in ambush. As the
Koreans approached, the Japanese soldiers
attacked and killed many Koreans. These tombs
are the tombs of the victims of that ambush. |
