P.S. Btw since they are both ensigns - are their ranks Navy (Kaigun-shōi) or Army (Rikugun-Shōi)?

Best regards,
Alexander

They were Kaigun-shōi.
Note that their unit names had the term "Naval".

Hello Rohan,

Descriptions in 1st page:
Captured at Bandung on 8 March 1942
Detained in Java POW camp 2nd Branch on 8 March 1942 (My guess)
Transferred to Java POW camp 1st Branch on 15 August 1942 (My guess)

Fontessa Thank you again for all the help with this project Stuart

Yes I hope I can find such materials as well. Unfortunately they have not been found yet.
