Thank You!

Thank You!

Many people have helped with the formation and organization of MPOWRS and the MPOWRS website.  Listed below are some we especially want to thank.

Roger Mansell has generously allowed us to make free use of  his well researched and documented list of POWs held at Mukden.  The originals can be found on his web page. http://www.mansell.com/pow-index.html, Roger documents POWs and Camps in the Pacific Theater of WWll.

Michael Hurst MBE - Taiwan (Formosa)– Offered invaluable advice on artwork, trip planning, corrections, and historical data.  We also appreciate is sharing his update of a list of the original British and Australian men held at Mukden. In addition to discovering and documenting the POW camps in Taiwan, he is active in FEPOW. Website: http://www.powtaiwan.org/index.html

J. Chen - Taiwan - design of logo and creation of our membership pins.

Jim Opolony has been most generous with help sorting out the men in the 192 and 194 Tank Battalions. He has worked for a decade with his Proviso East HS students to create a wonderful website with well researched information and primary source interviews. http://www.proviso.k12.il.us/Bataan%20Web/

Sheldon Zimbler - NY – Shelly has offered corrections and additional information as well as sharing stories from his many interviews with the Mukden POWs. He is the author of Undaunted Valor, a book about the Mukden years.

Special thanks to former POWs Leslie Brown #583, who donated a very hard to find copy of the roster part of the book Malcolm Fortier created and only gave to the men who had shared POW camps with him and Ernest Montoya #886 who donated a scanned copy of the Mukden Roster from NARA wit translations of the Japanese notations. 

And of course, endless thanks to the others who have given us information about your POW or yourself, or helped us straighten out some part of this mass of information.
