Sasebo Main

This list was prepared and researched by the Centger For Research

The impetus to get this list correct was from two extraordinary men:

Philip D. Eakins - A Navy man assigned to a US Naval base near Sasebo
Barry C. Kelso - Nephew of Orval A. Kelso, Civilian Contractor, Wake Island, who died here at Sasebo POW Camp 8 April 1943 from malnutrition and pneumonia

Sources used were NARA RG 407 Files, Wilcox Diary, CPNAB records and interview with Mr Leroy "Lee" Myers, survivor of the POW Camp.
