The remains of the American's killed at Hiroshima are known as Yokohama Mausoleum X-127 through X-135 were buried in a common urn. The first page of the file contains a letter dated 2 Mar 49 from Headquarters Eighth Army that says in reference to the remains "These remains were recovered at Hiroshima, Japan, as the remains of nine American airmen who perished in the atomic bombing. Investigations conducted in connection with war crimes trials have disclosed information that the Japanese 'planted' the remains at Hiroshima to mask the fact that the men in question had been executed at Western Army Headquarters, Fukuoka, Japan. The origin of the remains so 'planted' has not been learned and the nationality of the remains is believed to be impossible to ascertain. There is a possibility that the remains may have been taken from containers in which were stored American or Allied remains."
