Funatsu

Partial Roster from diary
Home     Funatsu Main    About Us

Source: Vern Holm, son of POW Holger L. Holm, Pfc., New Hartford, Iowa.

Roster from his father's diary. Father was taken to Japan aboard the Canadian Inventor from Manila on 3 July 1943. Arrived in Moji and transferred to Funatsu. This is his partial listing: ok- survived the war d- died in captivity p- probably NOT in Funatsu. Indicates man was on Palawan. I believe the part of the list ending here is the end of the roster of Chicago Battery, 60th Coast Artillery on Corregidor. I believe that the following names were from later in the war (Palawan, Canadian Inventor, Funatsu). The reason I believe this is that there are several blank pages prior to the start of this next section AND because the name "Jimmie Gutierrez" is one of the early entries and I know that Jimmie (real name is Jesus) was with my father at Funatsu.

At end of list are three names with "-p" after their names. They were murdered at Palawan and were definitely not at Funatsu.
There are some British/Australians, etc. and they would have been at Funatsu.

Following names are added by Roger Mansell based upon communication with other survivors or descendents:
