All Prisoners of war were not necessarily detained in the prisoner camp until the end of the war. In the Russo-Japanese War, for example, people engaged in medical work or wounded prisoners, who were unfit for military service, were permitted to repatriate to their own country even during the war.

Good evening, Stril!

I think your photo should be better placed in "Nomonhan Incident" thread, as here we deal with Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.
P.S. BTW, this is an interesting comparison of two armed conflicts between Japan and Russian Empire/USSR with completely different results.

Best regards, Aleks
