"Ultimately only 20 out of 1000 Japanese soldiers managed to survive the Ramree swamps, some of them being so badly injured and mauled that they were later recaptured by the British forces" during the Battle of Ramree Island COL Lee Flemming
Here is an alternate site with alternative pictures.
http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2014/08/the-horrific-crocodile-massacre-of-ramree-island/
"hat night was the most horrible that any member of the M.L. [marine launch] crews ever experienced. The crocodiles, alerted by the din of warfare and the smell of blood, gathered among the mangroves, lying with their eyes above water, watchfully alert for their next meal. With the ebb of the tide, the crocodiles moved in on the dead, wounded, and uninjured men who had become mired in the mud.
The scattered rifle shots in the pitch black swamp punctured by the screams of wounded men crushed in the jaws of huge reptiles, and the blurred worrying sound of spinning crocodiles made a cacophony of hell that has rarely been duplicated on earth. At dawn the vultures arrived to clean up what the crocodiles had left…Of about 1,000 Japanese soldiers that entered the swamps of Ramree, only about 20 were found alive."
As several have said this fate couldn't have fallen on a more deserving army as teh Imperial Japanese Army which never showed mercy.

not to sound gruesome, but the crocs thought they tasted a little like sushi and rice.
