above, at a Takao, Formosa,
dock, holds bitter memories
for scores of U.S. servicemen.

"hellship" Enoura, used during

from Manila, had just reached
Takao Bay when American
bombers made direct hits, part-
ially sinking the ship. A total
of 483 Yanks were killed.
These were buried in a single
grave on the beach near Takao.
The grave, marked .by a .crude
cairn, is pictured at right. In-
specting it are, Ieft to right,
Sgt. Robert Adams, of Wills-
boro, N.Y.; Takaharu Suenaga,
a Jap prisoner; and Harry C.
Angst, of the Red Cross. These
