#1-B FukuokaSee special webpages on Fukuoka #1 by Wes Injerd for in depth information on this camp (Location, History, Layout, etc.), including stats on all Fukuoka area camps.Note: The "B" of #1-B stands for "Branch," meaning a main camp location, as opposed to a "D" or Dispatch camp, to which POW's were dispatched for work with a company there, e.g. at a coal mine.The designation "601 Fukuoka POW Camp Kashii (Pine Tree Camp)" often seen in search results is simply a GENERIC designation for Fukuoka camps, due to the fact that the Fukuoka Area POW Camp Headquarters was based in Fukuoka City -- Kashii was the 3rd location for Fukuoka #1, the final location was nearby, in Hakozaki, hidden in a grove of pine trees.
