The men of the Chinese Labour Corps may well have been familiar with the tenth day of the tenth month as being China’s national day: it was the anniversary of the start of the Xinhai Revolution – the revolution that would bring an end to over 2,000 years of dynastic rule in China.

Deaths among the Chinese Labour Corps on this day were high.
