PS
Did you read through the 'about these records' info on FindMyPast?
It gives a link to this page
https://www.gahetna.nl/sites/default/files/bijlagen/stamp_list_logo.pdf
which helped me decipher the camp nos which were stamped in Japanese characters
and I spent days on this site to find out more about the camps

Boo
A thousand thanks for the links.
If I were searching for my own relative I would follow them all up, but as the War Memorial project involves nearly a hundred names and has to be completed before the Armistice centenary I just don't have the time to go into that level of detail (I truly wish I did
)
I will add the links to the project appendix to help any interested relative or descendant with research.
