Picture 455737 6 Sep 1945 - "PW Camp #124, Minato Kegi, Osaka, Parachutes on ground dropped by B-29's" This is the Itchioka (Ichioka) Hospital Camp Note that at bottom center of picture appears to be a partially filled swimming pool, west of the stands. River is one block east of stadium. This is identified by Garth Dunn and Ralph Baggert as the first camp in Osaka. Guam men were sent from here to Osaka #1 (Chikko), Osaka #2 (Umeda) and Hirohata. It was later used again by the Japanese to serve as a hospital for POWs. Note that adjacent to the stadium stands is a smaller rectangular stadium that enclosed a swimming pool. |

 Note: Erroneously Identified as being in Osaka. This was a detachment prison camp #3 from the main Tokyo camp command in the Japanese list of camps. Correctly identified as Tokyo #3, D3, "Nagaoka Shi, Yokohama Baseball Stadium, Niigata Ken [Prefecture], Hokuetsu." The company served by prisoner slaves was ZOSHU.
