	LIST of POW CAMPS
		POW Camp names are in alphabetical sequence and those that are underlined (clickable) have additional information that may include a POW roster.
		The numbers at the left of each POW Camp name are for Japanese-pow Listserv members to use in identifying the names of POW Camps that appear on the "roster." Numbers greater than 400 are not listed in numerical sequence.
		If you have a POW card that shows a PMPC number for a camp and that number is not shown on this list (or you know the correct identification of other Camps), please send that information to John Lewis (see link at bottom of the Home Page) so this list can be further annotated.

		Camp #6 was the main camp in Taihoku for most of the war, until right at the very end when all the remaining POWs from all over Taiwan were gathered together into one main holding camp to await rescue and repatriation when the war finished in August 1945.
		That was Kinkaseki, which was Taiwan Camp #1 and was administered from Taihoku because of its remote location and the wish of the Japanese to hide its whereabouts from the Red Cross and others.
		Camp #6 was the main POW camp in Taihoku for most of the war - and it contained almost entirely British POWs for most of its time in existence.

		The status of POW does not include unarmed non-combatants who are captured in time of war; they are protected by the Fourth Geneva Convention rather than the Third Geneva Convention.
		By contrast, POW facilities held by Allied nations like the USA, United Kingdom and Canada usually complied strictly to the Geneva Conventions, which sometimes created conditions POWs found were more comfortable than their own side's barracks.
		Furthermore, while there were initially complaints of coddling the enemy, the Allied population largely grew to support this approach which may have raised morale amoung the Allied personnel when by reinforcing the idea that this humane treatment of prisoners showed that their side was morally superior to the enemy.
