Wang Jungzhi
Wang Jungzhi (Wang Ch'un Ch'ih) was one of the last people to be executed by the British Army in World War I.〔Chielens, Piet and Putkowski, Julian (2000), Unquiet Graves, Francis Boutle, UK, p42〕 He was killed by firing squad on 8 May 1919, six months after the Armistice after being convicted of murder.
==Chinese labourers==
Wang Jungzhi was a member of the 107th Chinese Labour Corps,〔http://www.forumeerstewereldoorlog.nl/viewtopic.php?t=4638〕 which maintained trenches and cleared battlefields and their surrounding areas of debris and destruction. It was harrowing work because of the thousands of dead, dismembered and rotting bodies. They worked close to danger areas, their stress increased by racial hostility within the army and from local residents.〔
The Chinese were engaged when the Beiyang government agreed on 30 December 1916 to send 140,000 Chinese to work with the British. They were to be labourers rather than soldiers because China, not then part of the war,〔China declared war against Germany on 14 August 1917〕 would not send men to fight.〔(Fawcett, Brian C., "The Chinese Labour Corps in France, 1917-1921", in ''Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Branch'', Volume 40, 2000, pp. 33-111 )〕 It saw sending men to work in docks and elsewhere as a commercial proposition without political intent.〔〔Contracting Chinese workers was pioneered by the French, whose military negotiators wore civilian clothes to avoid offending Chinese neutrality.〕
