WW2 Japanese camps names abbreviations help please
« on: Friday 06 November 20 20:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi all
I’ve managed to find two relatives on my subscription site for WW2 Japanese POW Records . The records show date of capture etc and under the camp name they are only abbreviated to MA and HI respectively. Does anyone know where there is a list of the names and abbreviations? I couldn’t find anything on Rootschat, the actual sub site and a web search which listed camps was Wikipedia and it listed the names of all the camps but not abbreviations. Many thanks.
