New Zealand coast watchers executed by the Japanese

15/10/19

On October 15 1994, seventeen coast watchers and five civilians were captured by the Japanese forces when they invaded the Gilbert Islands (now the Kiribati Islands). They were imprisoned on the  Tarawa atoll. Following the imprisonment, they were all beheaded when an American air raid happened on the island.
