Mukden Prisoner Of War Remembrance Society

This list is not yet complete. We are compiling information from many sources, much of which has to be manually converted into an electronic format. By publishing what we have so far, we wish only to share the information we have as fast as possible - we do not mean to slight any POW not listed yet or his sacrifice. If you know of a POW not listed yet, please send the information to info@mukdenpows.org and we will get it added ASAP.
To make the data display more quickly, letters of the alphabet have been listed on separate pages. Click a letter below to jump to last names starting with that letter.
If you know a POW's number, but not his name, click on the List by POW Number link, find his name, then look in the alphabetical listing for his name to see if we have more information.

Sources

We are compiling our POW lists according to the following:

Michael Hurst provided info on the original 100 British forces that came to Mukden. Of these 16 were from Australia and the rest from Britain.

Roger Mansell has generously given us permission to use his well researched list of POWs.

Names of additional men were obtained from the book by Petak

The POW group from New Mexico has given us corrected information on the men who served in the 200^th and 515 th CA

A copy from the US National Archives of the Japanese Roster of POWs held at the Mukden (Hoten) POW camp in Manchuria

Any additional information gleaned from the files at National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) which come from the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor (ADBC), the group representing all men held by Japan in Asia.

Interviews with POWs and questions asked of the families of deceased POWs

Books written by the POWs.

Despite our best efforts, there are certain to be errors. We would appreciate any corrections you can help us with.

We are putting up the POWs by the letter of the alphabet as soon as we have checked all our sources. If the format starts off with the name of the POW and the place where they enlisted, then we have worked through all our resources on it. If it starts with the name of the POW followed by , then it has not been as carefully checked.

Either way, we appreciate additional information and corrections.

We have had to limit the information presented to what we hoped would help people researching a specific individual. However, we would love to have a story about any of the men, similar to the ones on the website. These stories will be put on the website and added to the collection at the museum.
