NOTE:
This is a catch-all list that
Roger Mansell had put together to try to include all the camp names and
designations he had come across at the National Archives, designations
which were not necessarily the same number as the camp, making it very
difficult finding the correct camp number. He continued adding
corrections and notations (in red or in brackets).
However, this list
has not been maintained on a regular basis. The Alphabetical
listing
of camps in Japan proper is also not
maintained.
For a more organized and
easier to use camp list, please see our Site Map or the Camp
Group Chart or List 2.
