Mergui Road
Mergui Road was an transit route in the Rangoon area of Burma, built and used during World War II by Imperial Japan. The road connected Pratchaub Khiri Khan to Mergui via Tenasserim on the Burmese south coast. It was hastily constructed under supervision of the Japanese army as a means of retreat in 1945, as British and American forces advanced and rail lines were severed by bombing. Mergui Road was built by romusha Asian laborers and some Allied prisoners of war under brutal slave labor conditions.〔(The forgotten Mergui Road, the Japanese escape route of 1945 )〕 ==See also==
