The residents of the Aleutian Island of Attu were taken to two locations. Mrs. Etta Jones was housed with the Australian Nurses from Rabaul in the Bund Hotel, Yokohama Yacht Club and Totsuka.

The other 54 residents were housed in Otaru, Hokkaido. Half did not survive internment. Only one baby born at the end of the war survived. The others born in Otaru died.

Special link to web site of Rod Miller, outstanding researcher from Australia who has carefully begun to document these camps and the experiences of the nurses. Slow to load but well worth the wait.
