Argyle Street Camp Commandant (POW Camp 'N')

• 1. 實森 繁夫 (Sanemore / Sanemori)

Our first Camp Commandant was a Lieut, SANEMORE , He knew little and did little. At this time there were many beatings and slappings which were witnessed by Lieut, SANEMORE but he did nothing to stop them.

• 2. 田中 齊 (Tanaka)

In May 1942, a Lieut, TANAKA became Camp Commandant. He had previously been Adjutant to Col. TOKUNAGA and we had hopes of improved conditions put he, like the rest, would do nothing except promise.

• 3. 原 榮二 (Hara)

When the Senior Officers left we had a Lieut, HARA as camp commandant for a while. I have no particular complaint against him except that he would do nothing for us. He was later commandant of the Civilian Internment Camp at Stanley.
