RETURN INTO BAMBAN: THE JOURNEY OF WWII RELICS RECOVERED FROM BAMBAN HILLS

Finally, Mike Howard’s collection mostly of Japanese artifacts from the Battle of Bamban Hills 1945 are back and now part of the permanent exhibit.

The most prized items included the Grandpa Nambu 1902, triangle ruler, pencil case all with Japanese markings (probably name or identification of owner) and ampules with liquid still inside the container.

Two Japanese silver teeth are also part of the collection retrieved from the former battlefields of the Bamban, mostly inside Japanese war tunnels way back in the mid and late 1960s, at the war ended about 20 years ago. And now the relics find their permanent home; the MIKE HOWARD COLLECTION at the Bamban WWII Museum.
