 1945 (Aug 24) Fukuoka (Number 19) Prisoner of War Camp, Kyushu British 1½d red-brown POW Forces Letter to "Fukuoka Camp 19", posted
at Eastbourne after Japan surrendered so no British censor but no return markings so apparently received by the POW just before he was repatriated.

Sub-Camp/Osaka" with full letter, pencilled "30.9.45" receival on the face. Posted after Japan surrendered so it's surprising that it was delivered to Japan. David Tett mentions Amagasaki only twice, with no details: it must have been a very small
camp. (Image1) (Image2)

 1945 (Sep 2; the date of the formal Japanese Surrender at Tokyo Bay) Tokyo (Omori) Prisoner of War Camp, Honshu British 'blue
triangle' aerogramme with letter headed "HMS Speaker/Sept 2nd 1945", to Yorkshire, the only postal marking being British 'POST/OFFICE - MARITIME/MAIL' machine in red, a few folds. The writer, formerly held at Omori, states: "... I have survived to
see this day of World Peace ... I was released by American soldiers on 29th August, the first camp relieved in Japan ... there are hundreds of my friends with their health ruined and many more dead ... I can never think of the Japanese race again
without hating the very sound of their name ... life in Japan has qualified me to be a first class thief ..." David Tett in Volume 6 at page 334 lists the ships that repatriated POWs from Japan & elsewhere. He states the 'Speaker' departed from
Manila 4.10.1945, arriving Brisbane 17.10.1945. This letter indicates that at least some POWs were on the ship from Tokyo. (Image1) (Image2)
