VC Policy Concerning Treatment of US and Third
Country POW and KIA.
Letter, dated 1966 from B2, P56 [Go Mon Sub-
Region, MR IV] provides specific regulations
concerning treatment of US, VN and third country
prisoners of war, KIA and handling of personal
belongings of prisoners.
In regard to US and third country prisoners,
document indicates that [VC} should strive to
subdue their indignation in spite of their
provacations so as to keep them alive and to rapidly
evacuate them to [VC] rear areas. Such prisoners of
war will be granted reasonable food allocations.
Prisoners of war will be employed to bury the unevacuated
Allied KIA. However, corpes of US and Third
country personnel should be secretly buried to
facilitate "future political offensives". Except
military equipment, personal belongings of prisoners
will not be removed. However, those KIA will be
considered as captured materials and will be disposed
of in accordance with the orders of appropriate
authorities.
