Possibly the English is a translation of the Japanese side. What does the English say?

The Japanese has (I THINK ! ) Japan-Thailand POW Camp No. 2 Branch, and then transferred to Osaka POW Camp No. 1 Branch.
It has cause of death at Fukuoka Prisoner Camp, as intestinal disease due to contaminated water. He was ill for 18 days.
His remains are at a temple in Osaka.
Remains handed over to Lt. GUYMEN, Clarence B


Does this tally with information given in English?
What is the man's name?

Milligan - Jardine – Glencross – Dinwoodie - Brown: (Dumfriesshire & Kirkcudbrightshire)
Clark – Faulds – Cuthbertson – Bryson – Wilson: (Ayrshire & Renfrewshire)
Neale – Cater – Kinder - Harrison: (Warwickshire & Queensland)
Roberts - Spry: (Cornwall, Middlesex & Queensland)
Munster: (Schleswig-Holstein & Queensland) and Plate: (Braunschweig, Neubruck & Queensland & New York)
