Weihsien Civilian Assembly Center
Weifang, Shandong, China
The Presbyterian Mission at Weihsien, in Shantung Province, China, was converted by the Japanese into a prison for fifteen hundred civilians, who were held there for two and a half years.
The burials listed here fall into two catagories. The first is the original burials during the mission period. They were marked by stones. The second is those who, for age or mistreatment, did not survive the internment. They were marked only by small wooden crosses. The burial area has since been built over.
One contemporary stone has been set in memory of Eric Liddell, who won gold in the 1924 Olympics.
