It was agreed that Korean and Formosan servicemen would be moved to Kokopo and supervised by Captain ASAKA during the construction of the Kokopo Camp, and that Australian officers would not have direct contact with representatives of these non-Japanese servicemen but give orders to Captain ASAKA. |
