From Fortean Times which I am nice enough to credit even though they banned me from their forum, but I’m so over that!

10 March In 1974

Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese army stopped fighting World War II. He dismissed the leaflets announcing the end of the war as American propaganda and remained in considerable discomfort on the tiny Philippine island of Lubang on which he had been marooned. Two years later, Shoichi Yokoi turned up in a cave on Guam, and another Japanese veteran was found in Indonesia in 1974. In December 1989, two Japanese civil engineers, who had been fighting with the communist guerrillas in Malaya since 1945, gave themselves up.
