| Content: | This item is a memorandum regarding the issues discussed in a submission from General IMAMURA to the Commander-in-Chief in the 8th Military District. Issues mentioned include the transfer of personnel between camps in preparation for repatriation, war crimes trials, communication between the Talili (12th) and Minamizaki (3rd) Groups and shipment of used equipment to Japan. It appears that IMAMURA raised these issues during the latest meeting with the Commander-in-Chief in the 8th Military District. It is not clear whether this document is a memorandum regarding IMAMURA's submission dated 2 April (AWM 82 2/249), although most of the issues mentioned here are also discussed in the submission. |
