The first batch of Japanese naval prisoners of war prepare to board the SS FORT BUFFALO which will carry them home to Japan. The ship would then return with supplies for other prisoners of war still held in Hong Kong. Embarkation of the prisoners was supervised by men of 42 and 44 Royal Marine Commados

#2Those Japanese Navy boys must have had it pretty good the sure look in good shape compared to the photos of army prisoners I have seen.

I wonder who got the Admiral's Baby Nambu... what a neat pistol! I remember when you could buy every one in the world for less than $1000, now they are 10 large.

Martini also has an LF&C knuckle knife in his belt. Love the pic of a Royal Marine Commando with an LL M1...it can't be mine he has, too much finish worn from the gas cylinder...could be one of the two upper pic though.

I respect your troops going through those islands we in Australia had earlier experience with the Japanese Imperial Army in Papua, different era from today but each and all that went to fight for freedom ensured that justice and the free world will never give in to tyranny nor oppression, like I said in an earlier post my father went through Papua, Wewak, Moratai and Mindanao in 4 years in WW II never talked about it at all to me only to my brother inlaw who is a Vietnam Vet.
I salute you all who serve and have served for the flag of freedom which ever we have for our countries in the free world they shall never be furled by those that would do us injustice.
