Need better source information

[edit]

I am no Nanking Massacre denier, nor am I interested in removing disturbing photographs simply because they are disturbing or I don't like the message they convey. But the source link is to a Princeton University server page that no longer exists. While I think it very likely that this is, in fact, a photograph of dead Chinese killed by the Imperial Japanese Army, the nationality of the victims is not obvious, and the soldier standing by the ditch is not wearing typical Japanese Army equipment. Thus, we need a link to a solid source for this photograph.

My quick attempt at Googling up a reliable source for the photograph (a published and preferably peer-reviewed secondary source) failed. Google is hardly exhaustive, of course. I urge editors to search for reliable sources for the photograph so it can be properly cited. --Yaush (talk) 22:29, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
