140,000 such laborers were recruited to perform support work during WWI
On the night of Nov 15, one hundred years ago, German troops violently bombed Poperinge, a city not far away from the Great War front-line. Thirteen Chinese, among 20,000 laborers working in Belgium, were killed in the attack.
They were among 3,000 Chinese victims of airstrikes near the battlefields of World War I.
