| Content: | This is an Allied Translator and Interpreter Section (ATIS) interrogation report for Sergeant JA147183 of the Shipping Signals Regiment 3rd Company 1st Platoon, who was captured in Talasea on 26 March 1944. JA147183, a 36 year old Sergeant from Kôchi Prefecture, was suffering from malaria and an old foot wound when he was captured by US troops. He was a civil servant and recalled in 1943 for a second period of service. During the interrogation, JA147183 provided information on unit organisation, movement, and conditions in Japan. He said it was not a disgrace to have been taken as a prisoner of war as he was abandoned by his unit. Yet, he thought he would be banished from home. |
