At least 37 journalists were killed or are listed as missing from the 1970-75 war, which pitted the US-backed Lon Nol government against the North Vietnamese-supported Khmer Rouge.

A number of journalists were known to have been captured by the Khmer Rouge and probably executed.

US Embassy spokesman John Johnson said Australian David MacMillan and Briton Keith Rotheram handed over the remains on Friday, and they were sent to the Hawaii-based Joint PoW/MiA Accounting Command, or JPAC, which deals with accounting for missing Americans from past wars.
