Identification of Japanese POW camp on Java
The Danish volunteer in the Malaya Volunteer Air Force Asger Laursen was captured by the Japanese in Java. From NA: WO 345/30 includes the name of the camp in Japanese (Kanji as I understrand it). Would anyone be able to help translate it into a camp name?
The first letter translate into the word "claw" or "nail" as far as I have gathered. Regards Mikkel Plannthin

Re: Identification of Japanese POW camp on Java
There is a Japanese site which does POW research here. They have both a Japanese and English version of the site, with a "Contact Us" right on the top of the page.

Hello Mikkel.
Those "Kanji" mean "Island of Java". Best Regards, JYoung |

Re: Identification of Japanese POW camp on Java
His name appears a few times on the fold3.com Japanese POW lists.
In one file/folder he is listed as a Danish Officer and the whole package is titled: "Far East: Movement Lists; October 1944; Camp III to Batavia to Bandoeng" Two of the pages are in a section called "Japanese Index Cards of Allied Prisoners of War and Internees, World War II". The pages appear to be the front and back of a card from a card file and show personal info (date of birth, parent's names, etc.). Last edited by RSwank; 24th July 2019 at 01:31. |

Re: Identification of Japanese POW camp on Java
Thank you for very helpful replies.
Two of the fold3 references are indeed his POW card from which the Kanji comes from, but I had not noticed the title of the package. Mikkel
