Casualties

Although the Corps did not take part in combat, around 2,000 Chinese Labour Corps died during World War I, some as a direct result of enemy action, or of wounds received in the course of their duties, and many more from the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu. They were classified as war casualties and were buried in numerous cemeteries in France and Belgium. One of the four following proverbs were inscribed on the standard Commonwealth War Grave Portland stone gravestones: "Faithful unto death", "A good reputation endures forever", "A noble duty bravely done" and "Though dead he still liveth". Cemeteries include:
