They provide additional background on the compilation of the records that is applicable to the World War II Prisoners of the Japanese, 2007 Update (NN3-ADBC-08-001). Lynn A. Goodsell, Archivist Electronic and Special Media Records Services Division June 12, 2008 NARA's web site is http://www.archives.gov NARA Reference Copy AND RECORDS National Archives and Records Administration 8601 Adelphi Road 1985 College Park, Maryland 20740-6001 User Note World War II Prisoners of the Japanese, 2007 Update NN3-ADBC-08-001 (NWME) Records of the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor (ADBC) (Donated Materials Group ADBC) Data File and Format: NARA received the donation of the World War II Prisoners of the Japanese, 2007 Update, on October 17, 2007. The donors submitted the file in a tab-delimited format. NARA staff preserved the records as a tab-delimited, variable-length ASCII file. The first record in the file contains the column heading, or layout, for that file. Verification: The World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File was processed using the Archival Electronic Records Inspection and Control (AERIC) utility. The AERIC reports revealed some minor discrepancies between the data and the documentation provided by the donors. On the AERIC reports, some of the abbreviations (codes) for some of the fields are listed twice with one entry having a carriage return, and in some of the records, the "Parent Unit" and "Assigned Unit" fields contain only a carriage return, not a null value or data. Staff viewed the data file in VEDIT and determined these carriage returns listed on the AERIC reports are instances where the records do not contain data or null values in all eleven fields according to the layout and instead have a carriage return in the last field with data in the record. In other words, these records are variable-length with tab-delimited fields and a carriage return and line feed at the end of each record. Many of the records have one or more blank fields: - 11 records have no data in the "Rank" field * 58 records have no data in the "Service Number" field - 279 records have no data in the "Arm" field - 8103 records have no data in the "Source 1" field* - 26209 records have no data in the "Source 2" field* - 29725 records have no data in the "Source 3" field* - 13820 records have no data in the "Subordinate Unit" field - 8149 records have no data in the "Assigned Unit" field - 15501 records have no data in the "Parent Unit" field - 24710 records have no data in the "POW Camp Notes" field *Although the documentation from the first donation (NN3-ADBC-06-001) indicates that all the records in the file show the source of the data, nothing in the documentation explains what a blank in the "Source" field may mean. AERIC detected two exact duplicate records and four other instances where the name and serial number are the same, although the data in the other fields differed. NARA's web site is http://www.archives.gov NARA Reference Copy There are a few discrepancies in the "Assigned Unit" field in some of the records: - There is one record with the value "Inshore patrol," however the value on the code list (and in 12 records) is "Inshore Patrol" with a capital P. * There is one record with the value "V Inctp Cmd," however the value on the code lists (and in 187 records) is "V Intep Cmd." - There is one record with the value "USS Finch" and trailing spaces. - Some of the records contain the values "See Notes," "Unknown," or "unknown," which are not listed on the code lists provided by the donors but are self-explanatory. Documentation: Since this file is an update of the 2006 donated World War II Prisoners of the Japanese Data File (NN3-ADBC-06-001), users may wish to refer to the documentation for the 2006 donation for information on the compilation of the records. In particular, the documentation for the 2006 donation mentions that much of the data in the "Name," "Rank," "Service Number," and "Arm" fields was obtained from the NARA series Records of World War II Prisoners of War so users may also wish to refer to the documentation for the Records of World War II Prisoners of War for additional information. Lynn A. Goodsell Archivist Electronic and Special Media Records Services Division March 25, 2008 NARA's web site is http://www.archives.gov NARA Reference Copy NARA prepared printout of Narrative.doc, printed 10/19/2007 October 1, 2007 Narrative to accompany the revised ADBC Database of World War II POWs of the Japanese: This revision to the ADBC Database of World War II Prisoners of War is being submitted to provide information gained from rosters of the 803rd Engineer Battalion (Aviation) and numerous individual records that became available to us after the April 4, 2006 submission of the original database. A few individual records have been added to the database when the information became available and that information was verified by the American Battle Monuments Commission database. In most cases, those individuals died soon after becoming POWs and the information did not get into the War Department files maintained on IBM punched cards. During the preparation of this revision, it became apparent that displaying the Source Codes would be simplified by dividing the Source Field into three fields. In the revised database, whenever more that one source of information was used for a record, up to three source codes are provided. The sources are displayed alphabetically with the first code in the Sourcel field, the next code in the Source2 field and (if there is a third code) the next code in the Source3 field. The original database submission contained some instances of more than one code in the Arm and Rank fields that had the same meaning. These duplications have been resolved and the database can now be more effectively used to search for all POWs with the same entries in a field or combination of fields. There were also some typographical errors in various fields. We have worked diligently to eliminate such errors. Since entries in the Code Lists must be brief and most punctuation characters are not permitted, references to publications are not complete. The following additional information on publications cited in the Sources Code List is offered to persons that desire a more complete description of the source.

Lewis and Jim Erickson, two of the donors, for clarification. In particular, staff noted that the code "3BN" appears in the "Source" field for about a dozen of the records, however a meaning for that code is not included in the donor-prepared Source of Information code list. Mr. Lewis replied that the code "3BN" refers to the source "Diary of 3ʳᵈ Bn, 45ᵗʰ Inf Regt (PS) provided by Bill Cahill." He further explained: Right at the end of the project, I received a diary of the 3rd Battalion, 45th Infantry Regiment (Philippine Scouts). That document gave duty positions for many officers of the 3rd Bn, 45th Inf. Regt (PS) just before the surrender on Battan [sic] on April 9, 1942. We already had information that those people were assigned to the 45th Inf. Regt. (PS); however, this document gave additional information concerning their assignment within the 45th. So I added the additional information and the new source code for that information Similarly, staff noted that the code "RM6" appears in the "Source" field for two records, but a meaning for that code was not provided. Mr. Erickson explained that "RM6" was a temporary code that was later removed from the database. Evidently, the two records in the donated database with "RM6" were mistakenly overlooked when the donors expunged the code from the other records. Therefore, for the records for George H. Erickson, service number 19010562, and Adolph Schuster, service number 2279109, the only valid code in the "Source" field is "BL" for the "Bilibid Liberation roster - National Archives," since the code "RM6" is an invalid temporary code and should be ignored. Also, staff had previously noted that 8,240 records (about 25%) have no data in the "Source" field, although the donor-prepared documentation indicates that all the records in the file show the source of the data. When asked about this discrepancy, Mr. Lewis explained: We started with the NARA database of World War II POWs and first extracted all POWs of the Japanese. Next we deleted Civilians and Merchant Marine, since they were not members of the armed forces and had no military units. During the course of our research, we discovered a number of duplicate entries in the NARA database, so we eliminated those. Also, we inserted the following two names of well-known NARA's web site is http://www.archives.gov NARA Reference Copy POWs that changed their name after World War II and gave cross-references to their original names. Alexander, Joe see Trejo, Joe L. Tenny, Lester I see Tenenberg, Lester I. That left us with a database containing 29,831 persons that seem to have been Military POWs of the Japanese. For identification of individuals, we retained NARA information as contained in the first four columns of our ADBC Database (Name, Rank, Service Number and Arm). We made minor corrections of names when we had valid information from family or other reliable source. To that we added five columns for additional data about the individual's military unit (Source, Subordinate Unit, Assigned Unit, Patent Unit, and POW Camps/Notes). Initially we were going to show only information about a person's military unit; however, we later decided to add available information about POW Camps and explanatory notes when we thought the data would be useful to descendants and others searching for information about a POW. When we decided to use information from other reliable sources in addition to the ADBC Registration Cards, we inserted the "Source" column to show where we obtained the information. We have made a strong effort to include only reliable source information. Our work resulted in finding some information on 21,587 persons (72.36% of the 29,831 persons on the database). Of course, the remaining 8,244 persons have no entries for military units; hence, no source code has [sic] entered for those persons. This is why you found "about 25%" of the records have no source code.

The donors created the file in Microsoft Excel format, but donated the file to NARA in a CSV (comma separated values) format. NARA staff preserved the records as a comma-delimited, variable length ASCII file. The first record in the file contains the column heading, or layout, for that file. The following description of the CSV format is from the Microsoft homepage section for Excel: CSV (Comma delimited) format The CSV (Comma delimited) file format saves only the text and values as they are displayed in cells of the active worksheet. All rows and all characters in each cell are saved. Columns of data are separated by commas, and each row of data ends in a carriage return. If a cell contains a comma, the cell contents are enclosed in double quotation marks. If cells display formulas instead of formula values, the formulas are converted as text. All formatting, graphics, objects, and other worksheet contents are lost. Note: If your workbook contains special font characters such as a copyright symbol (©), and you will be using the converted text file on a computer with a different operating system, save the workbook in the text file format appropriate for that system. For example, if you are using Windows and want to use the text file on a Macintosh computer, save the file in the CSV (Macintosh) format. If you are using a Macintosh computer and want to use the text file on a system running Windows or Windows NT, save the file in the CSV (Windows) format. Verification: The World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File was processed using the Archival Electronic Records Inspection and Control (AERIC) utility. The AERIC reports revealed some discrepancies between the data and the documentation provided by the donors. As outlined in the documentation, the donors obtained data from the NARA provided "World War II Prisoners of War database" (also known as Records of World War II Prisoners of War, Record Group 389) and in some cases expanded upon this data. Therefore, NARA staff also used documentation from the Records of World War II Prisoners of War to verify the data in the World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File. While most of the abbreviations (codes) in the "Rank" and "Arm" fields in the file were taken from the Records of World War II Prisoners of War "Grade, Alpha" and "Arm or Service" fields respectively, some of the codes do not appear in the Records of World War II Prisoners of War. In addition, the NARA compiled code lists for the Records of World NARA's web site is http://www.archives.gov NARA Reference Copy War II Prisoners of War do not include codes with a meaning of "undefined code" so some codes in the World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File may not appear in the Records of World War II Prisoners of War code lists and thus may have a meaning of "undefined code." As the case with some of the codes in the Records of World War II Prisoners of War, some of the codes in the World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File may contain obvious typographical errors, e.g. AMMIC should be AMM1C, and others codes may consist of miscellaneous characters, e.g. &R-. Please note that since the donors sometimes expanded upon the information obtained from the Records of World War II Prisoners of War, the World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File may have data for an individual that differs from that found in the Records of World War II Prisoners of War. In some of the records, the "Rank," "Arm," and "Source" fields have trailing spaces after the abbreviations (codes). While most of the codes are in all capitals, some of the codes may contain lower case letter(s). The "Source" field may contain two or more abbreviations (codes), separated by a semicolon. Many of the records have one or more blank fields: - 6 records have no data in the "Rank" field - 52 records have no data in the "Service Number" field - 235 records have no data in the "Arm" field - 8240 records have no data in the "Source" field (Although the documentation indicates that all the records in the file show the source of the data, nothing in the documentation explains what a blank in the "Source" field may mean.) - 14628 records have no data in the "Subordinate Unit" field - 8250 records have no data in the "Assigned Unit" field - 15416 records have no data in the "Parent Unit" field - 24670 records have no data in the "POW Camp Notes" field AERIC detected one exact duplicate record and eight other instances where the name and serial number are the same, although the data in the other fields differed. Documentation: Since much of the data in the "Name," "Rank," "Service Number," and "Arm" fields was obtained from the NARA series Records of World War II Prisoners of War, users may wish to refer to the documentation for the Records of World War II Prisoners of War for additional information. In this regard, the code lists for the "Alpha, Grade" and "Arm or Service" fields for the Records of World War II Prisoners of War have been included with the NARA prepared documentation for the World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File as code lists for the "Rank" and "Arm" fields, respectively.

Goodsell Archives Specialist Electronic and Special Media Records Services Division May 9, 2006 NARA's web site is http://www.archives.gov NARA Reference Copy NARA prepared printout of letter.doc, printed 4/13/2006 February 23, 2006 National Archives and Records Administration ATTN: Mr. Lee Gladwin SUBJECT: American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor (ADBC) Registration Cards Project Mr. Gladwin; The files on this CD are presented to NARA with the hope that this will result in a new database being added to the Access to the Archival Database (AAD) web site. The intent of this database is to supplement the data that is now available on the "World War II Prisoners of War Data File, 12/7/1941 - 11/19/1946" by making available information to show the POW's military organization prior to the time that person was captured. Please note that this is for POWs of the Japanese only. This project began with the recording of information contained on ADBC registration cards. During that initial phase of the project, we decided to expand the project to include information from unit rosters and other sources we consider as reliable. The database we have created provides military unit and other information for over 21,500 (over 72%) of the U.S. POWs of the Japanese during World War II. Each record in Master.cvs contains nine fields. The first four fields are used to identify the individual and are taken from the World War II Prisoners of War database that was provided by NARA. Those fields are Name, Rank, Service Number and Arm. With minor exceptions the data in these fields are exactly as we obtained it from NARA. We did expand some names to include the middle name, when it was known, and when it served to differentiate two or more persons with the same name otherwise. Next, we inserted a "Source" field to indicate the source of our information about the individual. Entries in the Source column are explained in the file, "Sources.cvs". Military Unit information is provided in three fields: "Subordinate Unit", "Assigned Unit and "Parent Unit". As an example of how these three columns are used, a person that was in D Company, 45th Infantry Regiment (Philippine Scouts), Philippine Division would have "D Co" in the Subordinate Unit column, "45th Inf Regt (PS)" in the Assigned Unit column and "Phil Div" in the Parent Unit column. All abbreviations used are explained in the "Abbreviations.cvs" file. The last field of each record is "POW Camps/Notes". This column provides information from ADBC registration cards and other sources that we feel will be valuable to descendants and others researching information about a POW of the Japanese. For example, we have included notes concerning all POWs that were involved in the Palawan Massacre and about all those that were liberated at Cabanatuan during the "Great Raid". Note that several former POWs changed their names after World War II. In each case that has come to our attention, we have inserted a record for the new name that will direct a researcher to the record as listed by the War Department. Please give credit to the 20 volunteers that posted data from the ADBC registration cards. Also, please give credit to Roger Mansell who has allowed us to use data from his extensive web site, "Center for Research, Allied POWs under the Japanese". Credit should be given to Jim Erickson and John B. Lewis who worked many hours over the past six months locating and posting data from the all of the sources other than the ADBC registration cards. Jim Erickson is 1 NARA Reference Copy NARA prepared printout of letter.doc, printed 4/13/2006 the son of Maj. Albert W. Erickson, 1st Bn, 71st Inf Regt (PA), 71st Div (PA) and John B.

Lewis 2 NARA Reference Copy NARA prepared printout of ADBC - Background.doc, printed 4/13/2006 March 2, 2006 ADBC Cards Project Background Information Submitted by: John B. Lewis This project was conceived during the April 2005 ADBC (American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor), National Convention in Cincinnati. ADBC member Joe Vater told me (POW descendant John B. Lewis) that he thought it was time to destroy the ADBC registration cards that had accumulated over the years and were then in his care. Since I knew that many NARA AAD records on World War II POWs of the Japanese are missing military unit information, I asked Joe if those cards contained such information. Joe said that many cards did have such data. Then I asked him to please hold the cards until I could check with NARA to find out if NARA might want the data from the cards to supplement the information contained in their World War II POWs database that is posted on the AAD web site. I sent a message to NARA Archivist Lee Gladwin on April 12, 2005 and he responded saying, in effect, that NARA would like to have the data if I would do the work of recording the data. The Descendants Group of the ADBC assembled a team of 20 POW descendants that volunteered to do the work, Joe Vater sent the ADBC registration cards to me, and then the project began. Our screening of the ADBC cards provided military unit information for almost 5,000 POWs. During our work of recording data from the ADBC registration cards, Jim Erickson and I made a decision to expand the project to include data from sources we consider to be reliable such as unit rosters. Jim Erickson and I added the remaining data from the other sources. All records in the resulting database are marked to show the sources of the data. The Master.cs file we are providing has 29,830 records. Seventeen of those are for people that the NARA World War II POWs file shows as POWs; however, we have learned that they never were POWs. We left those names in the file and provided explanations in the POW Camps/Notes column as an assist to researchers. Some of the seventeen were killed in combat, some evaded capture and remained in hiding in China, and others were guerrillas in the Philippines that were never captured (such as the well-known Col. Wendell Fertig on Mindanao). That leaves a total of 29,813 POWs in the file. We have excluded most civilians since the intent of this project was to identify the military unit for POWs prior to the surrender. However, we left a few civilians due to their special relationship to the military such as Aaron Kliatchko who served as Jewish Chaplain in Cabanatuan. Master.csv contains military unit information for 21,589 POWs which is more than 72.4% of the POWs in the file.

Also, Roger permitted use of information from his extensive internet site, "Center for Research, Allied POWs under the Japanese" (http://www.mansell.com/pow-index.html). Jim Erickson - Worked as one of the initial volunteers. Then he performed extensive and invaluable research as well as recording data that provided military unit information for thousands of additional POWs. Also, Jim assisted in editing the final database to be sure entries were consistent and accurate. John B. Lewis - My function was mostly as the moderator of this project and the person that made final decisions. A major function of mine was to develop a "List of Military Units" involved in the defensive campaign of the Southwest Pacific - in effect an "order of battle". I decided that we should record unit information in three columns (Subordinate Unit, Assigned Unit and Parent Unit) and I determined the format for posting the information for each unit. Also, I specified the abbreviations that would be used as we recorded data. We had to have this information at the beginning of the project so that we would have a standard way of recording military units.

The donors submitted the file in a tab-delimited format. NARA\nstaff preserved the records as a tab-delimited, variable-length ASCII file. The first record in the file\ncontains the column heading, or layout, for that file.\nVerification: The World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File was processed using the Archival\nElectronic Records Inspection and Control (AERIC) utility. The AERIC reports revealed some\nminor discrepancies between the data and the documentation provided by the donors.\nOn the AERIC reports, some of the abbreviations (codes) for some of the fields are listed twice with\none entry having a carriage return, and in some of the records, the \"Parent Unit\" and \"Assigned Unit\"\nfields contain only a carriage return, not a null value or data. Staff viewed the data file in VEDIT\nand determined these carriage returns listed on the AERIC reports are instances where the records do\nnot contain data or null values in all eleven fields according to the layout and instead have a carriage\nreturn in the last field with data in the record. In other words, these records are variable-length with\ntab-delimited fields and a carriage return and line feed at the end of each record.\nMany of the records have one or more blank fields:\n- 11 records have no data in the \"Rank\" field\n* 58 records have no data in the \"Service Number\" field\n- 279 records have no data in the \"Arm\" field\n- 8103 records have no data in the \"Source 1\" field*\n- 26209 records have no data in the \"Source 2\" field*\n- 29725 records have no data in the \"Source 3\" field*\n- 13820 records have no data in the \"Subordinate Unit\" field\n- 8149 records have no data in the \"Assigned Unit\" field\n- 15501 records have no data in the \"Parent Unit\" field\n- 24710 records have no data in the \"POW Camp Notes\" field\n*Although the documentation from the first donation (NN3-ADBC-06-001) indicates that all the\nrecords in the file show the source of the data, nothing in the documentation explains what a blank in\nthe \"Source\" field may mean.\nAERIC detected two exact duplicate records and four other instances where the name and serial\nnumber are the same, although the data in the other fields differed.\nNARA's web site is http://www.archives.gov\nNARA Reference Copy\nThere are a few discrepancies in the \"Assigned Unit\" field in some of the records:\n- There is one record with the value \"Inshore patrol,\" however the value on the code list (and in 12\nrecords) is \"Inshore Patrol\" with a capital P.\n* There is one record with the value \"V Inctp Cmd,\" however the value on the code lists (and in 187\nrecords) is \"V Intep Cmd.\"\n- There is one record with the value \"USS Finch\" and trailing spaces.\n- Some of the records contain the values \"See Notes,\" \"Unknown,\" or \"unknown,\" which are not\nlisted on the code lists provided by the donors but are self-explanatory.\nDocumentation:\nSince this file is an update of the 2006 donated World War II Prisoners of the Japanese Data File\n(NN3-ADBC-06-001), users may wish to refer to the documentation for the 2006 donation for\ninformation on the compilation of the records. In particular, the documentation for the 2006\ndonation mentions that much of the data in the \"Name,\" \"Rank,\" \"Service Number,\" and \"Arm\"\nfields was obtained from the NARA series Records of World War II Prisoners of War so users may\nalso wish to refer to the documentation for the Records of World War II Prisoners of War for\nadditional information.\nLynn A. Goodsell\nArchivist\nElectronic and Special Media Records Services Division\nMarch 25, 2008\nNARA's web site is http://www.archives.gov\nNARA Reference Copy\nNARA prepared printout of Narrative.doc, printed 10/19/2007\nOctober 1, 2007\nNarrative to accompany the revised ADBC Database of World War II POWs of the\nJapanese:\nThis revision to the ADBC Database of World War II Prisoners of War is being\nsubmitted to provide information gained from rosters of the 803rd Engineer Battalion (Aviation)\nand numerous individual records that became available to us after the April 4, 2006 submission\nof the original database. A few individual records have been added to the database when the\ninformation became available and that information was verified by the American Battle\nMonuments Commission database. In most cases, those individuals died soon after becoming\nPOWs and the information did not get into the War Department files maintained on IBM\npunched cards.\nDuring the preparation of this revision, it became apparent that displaying the Source\nCodes would be simplified by dividing the Source Field into three fields. In the revised\ndatabase, whenever more that one source of information was used for a record, up to three source\ncodes are provided. The sources are displayed alphabetically with the first code in the Sourcel\nfield, the next code in the Source2 field and (if there is a third code) the next code in the Source3\nfield.\nThe original database submission contained some instances of more than one code in the\nArm and Rank fields that had the same meaning. These duplications have been resolved and the\ndatabase can now be more effectively used to search for all POWs with the same entries in a\nfield or combination of fields. There were also some typographical errors in various fields. We\nhave worked diligently to eliminate such errors.\nSince entries in the Code Lists must be brief and most punctuation characters are not\npermitted, references to publications are not complete. The following additional information on\npublications cited in the Sources Code List is offered to persons that desire a more complete\ndescription of the source.\nBooks:\nALL THIS HELL: U.S. Nurses Imprisoned by the Japanese by Evelyn M.

Lewis and Jim Erickson, two of the donors, for\nclarification.\nIn particular, staff noted that the code \"3BN\" appears in the \"Source\" field for about a dozen of the\nrecords, however a meaning for that code is not included in the donor-prepared Source of\nInformation code list. Mr. Lewis replied that the code \"3BN\" refers to the source \"Diary of 3ʳᵈ Bn,\n45ᵗʰ Inf Regt (PS) provided by Bill Cahill.\" He further explained:\nRight at the end of the project, I received a diary of the 3rd Battalion, 45th Infantry\nRegiment (Philippine Scouts). That document gave duty positions for many officers\nof the 3rd Bn, 45th Inf. Regt (PS) just before the surrender on Battan [sic] on April 9,\n1942. We already had information that those people were assigned to the 45th Inf.\nRegt. (PS); however, this document gave additional information concerning their\nassignment within the 45th. So I added the additional information and the new\nsource code for that information\nSimilarly, staff noted that the code \"RM6\" appears in the \"Source\" field for two records, but a\nmeaning for that code was not provided. Mr. Erickson explained that \"RM6\" was a temporary code\nthat was later removed from the database. Evidently, the two records in the donated database with\n\"RM6\" were mistakenly overlooked when the donors expunged the code from the other records.\nTherefore, for the records for George H. Erickson, service number 19010562, and Adolph Schuster,\nservice number 2279109, the only valid code in the \"Source\" field is \"BL\" for the \"Bilibid Liberation\nroster - National Archives,\" since the code \"RM6\" is an invalid temporary code and should be\nignored.\nAlso, staff had previously noted that 8,240 records (about 25%) have no data in the \"Source\" field,\nalthough the donor-prepared documentation indicates that all the records in the file show the source\nof the data. When asked about this discrepancy, Mr. Lewis explained:\nWe started with the NARA database of World War II POWs and first extracted all\nPOWs of the Japanese. Next we deleted Civilians and Merchant Marine, since they\nwere not members of the armed forces and had no military units. During the course\nof our research, we discovered a number of duplicate entries in the NARA database,\nso we eliminated those. Also, we inserted the following two names of well-known\nNARA's web site is http://www.archives.gov\nNARA Reference Copy\nPOWs that changed their name after World War II and gave cross-references to their\noriginal names.\nAlexander, Joe\nsee\nTrejo, Joe L.\nTenny, Lester I\nsee\nTenenberg, Lester I.\nThat left us with a database containing 29,831 persons that seem to have been\nMilitary POWs of the Japanese. For identification of individuals, we retained NARA\ninformation as contained in the first four columns of our ADBC Database (Name,\nRank, Service Number and Arm). We made minor corrections of names when we\nhad valid information from family or other reliable source. To that we added five\ncolumns for additional data about the individual's military unit (Source, Subordinate\nUnit, Assigned Unit, Patent Unit, and POW Camps/Notes). Initially we were going\nto show only information about a person's military unit; however, we later decided\nto add available information about POW Camps and explanatory notes when we\nthought the data would be useful to descendants and others searching for information\nabout a POW. When we decided to use information from other reliable sources in\naddition to the ADBC Registration Cards, we inserted the \"Source\" column to show\nwhere we obtained the information. We have made a strong effort to include only\nreliable source information.\nOur work resulted in finding some information on 21,587 persons (72.36% of the\n29,831 persons on the database).

The donors created the file in Microsoft Excel format, but donated the\nfile to NARA in a CSV (comma separated values) format. NARA staff preserved the records as a\ncomma-delimited, variable length ASCII file. The first record in the file contains the column\nheading, or layout, for that file.\nThe following description of the CSV format is from the Microsoft homepage section for Excel:\nCSV (Comma delimited) format\nThe CSV (Comma delimited) file format saves only the text and values as they are\ndisplayed in cells of the active worksheet. All rows and all characters in each cell are\nsaved. Columns of data are separated by commas, and each row of data ends in a\ncarriage return. If a cell contains a comma, the cell contents are enclosed in double\nquotation marks. If cells display formulas instead of formula values, the formulas are\nconverted as text. All formatting, graphics, objects, and other worksheet contents are lost.\nNote: If your workbook contains special font characters such as a copyright symbol\n(©), and you will be using the converted text file on a computer with a different\noperating system, save the workbook in the text file format appropriate for that\nsystem. For example, if you are using Windows and want to use the text file on a\nMacintosh computer, save the file in the CSV (Macintosh) format. If you are using a\nMacintosh computer and want to use the text file on a system running Windows or\nWindows NT, save the file in the CSV (Windows) format.\nVerification: The World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File was processed using the Archival\nElectronic Records Inspection and Control (AERIC) utility. The AERIC reports revealed some\ndiscrepancies between the data and the documentation provided by the donors.\nAs outlined in the documentation, the donors obtained data from the NARA provided \"World War II\nPrisoners of War database\" (also known as Records of World War II Prisoners of War, Record\nGroup 389) and in some cases expanded upon this data. Therefore, NARA staff also used\ndocumentation from the Records of World War II Prisoners of War to verify the data in the World\nWar II Prisoners of the Japanese File. While most of the abbreviations (codes) in the \"Rank\" and\n\"Arm\" fields in the file were taken from the Records of World War II Prisoners of War \"Grade,\nAlpha\" and \"Arm or Service\" fields respectively, some of the codes do not appear in the Records of\nWorld War II Prisoners of War. In addition, the NARA compiled code lists for the Records of World\nNARA's web site is http://www.archives.gov\nNARA Reference Copy\nWar II Prisoners of War do not include codes with a meaning of \"undefined code\" so some codes in\nthe World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File may not appear in the Records of World War II\nPrisoners of War code lists and thus may have a meaning of \"undefined code.\" As the case with\nsome of the codes in the Records of World War II Prisoners of War, some of the codes in the World\nWar II Prisoners of the Japanese File may contain obvious typographical errors, e.g. AMMIC should\nbe AMM1C, and others codes may consist of miscellaneous characters, e.g. &R-. Please note that\nsince the donors sometimes expanded upon the information obtained from the Records of World War\nII Prisoners of War, the World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File may have data for an individual\nthat differs from that found in the Records of World War II Prisoners of War.\nIn some of the records, the \"Rank,\" \"Arm,\" and \"Source\" fields have trailing spaces after the\nabbreviations (codes). While most of the codes are in all capitals, some of the codes may contain\nlower case letter(s). The \"Source\" field may contain two or more abbreviations (codes), separated by\na semicolon.\nMany of the records have one or more blank fields:\n- 6 records have no data in the \"Rank\" field\n- 52 records have no data in the \"Service Number\" field\n- 235 records have no data in the \"Arm\" field\n- 8240 records have no data in the \"Source\" field (Although the documentation indicates that all the\nrecords in the file show the source of the data, nothing in the documentation explains what a\nblank in the \"Source\" field may mean.)\n- 14628 records have no data in the \"Subordinate Unit\" field\n- 8250 records have no data in the \"Assigned Unit\" field\n- 15416 records have no data in the \"Parent Unit\" field\n- 24670 records have no data in the \"POW Camp Notes\" field\nAERIC detected one exact duplicate record and eight other instances where the name and serial\nnumber are the same, although the data in the other fields differed.\nDocumentation: Since much of the data in the \"Name,\" \"Rank,\" \"Service Number,\" and \"Arm\"\nfields was obtained from the NARA series Records of World War II Prisoners of War, users may\nwish to refer to the documentation for the Records of World War II Prisoners of War for additional\ninformation. In this regard, the code lists for the \"Alpha, Grade\" and \"Arm or Service\" fields for the\nRecords of World War II Prisoners of War have been included with the NARA prepared\ndocumentation for the World War II Prisoners of the Japanese File as code lists for the \"Rank\" and\n\"Arm\" fields, respectively.\nLynn A.

The intent of this\ndatabase is to supplement the data that is now available on the \"World War II Prisoners of War\nData File, 12/7/1941 - 11/19/1946\" by making available information to show the POW's\nmilitary organization prior to the time that person was captured. Please note that this is for\nPOWs of the Japanese only.\nThis project began with the recording of information contained on ADBC registration\ncards. During that initial phase of the project, we decided to expand the project to include\ninformation from unit rosters and other sources we consider as reliable. The database we have\ncreated provides military unit and other information for over 21,500 (over 72%) of the U.S.\nPOWs of the Japanese during World War II.\nEach record in Master.cvs contains nine fields. The first four fields are used to identify\nthe individual and are taken from the World War II Prisoners of War database that was provided\nby NARA. Those fields are Name, Rank, Service Number and Arm. With minor exceptions the\ndata in these fields are exactly as we obtained it from NARA. We did expand some names to\ninclude the middle name, when it was known, and when it served to differentiate two or more\npersons with the same name otherwise. Next, we inserted a \"Source\" field to indicate the source\nof our information about the individual. Entries in the Source column are explained in the file,\n\"Sources.cvs\". Military Unit information is provided in three fields: \"Subordinate Unit\",\n\"Assigned Unit and \"Parent Unit\". As an example of how these three columns are used, a person\nthat was in D Company, 45th Infantry Regiment (Philippine Scouts), Philippine Division would\nhave \"D Co\" in the Subordinate Unit column, \"45th Inf Regt (PS)\" in the Assigned Unit column\nand \"Phil Div\" in the Parent Unit column. All abbreviations used are explained in the\n\"Abbreviations.cvs\" file. The last field of each record is \"POW Camps/Notes\". This column\nprovides information from ADBC registration cards and other sources that we feel will be\nvaluable to descendants and others researching information about a POW of the Japanese. For\nexample, we have included notes concerning all POWs that were involved in the Palawan\nMassacre and about all those that were liberated at Cabanatuan during the \"Great Raid\".\nNote that several former POWs changed their names after World War II. In each case\nthat has come to our attention, we have inserted a record for the new name that will direct a\nresearcher to the record as listed by the War Department.\nPlease give credit to the 20 volunteers that posted data from the ADBC registration cards.\nAlso, please give credit to Roger Mansell who has allowed us to use data from his extensive web\nsite, \"Center for Research, Allied POWs under the Japanese\". Credit should be given to Jim\nErickson and John B. Lewis who worked many hours over the past six months locating and\nposting data from the all of the sources other than the ADBC registration cards.

Lewis\nThis project was conceived during the April 2005 ADBC (American Defenders of Bataan\nand Corregidor), National Convention in Cincinnati. ADBC member Joe Vater told me (POW\ndescendant John B. Lewis) that he thought it was time to destroy the ADBC registration cards\nthat had accumulated over the years and were then in his care. Since I knew that many NARA\nAAD records on World War II POWs of the Japanese are missing military unit information, I\nasked Joe if those cards contained such information. Joe said that many cards did have such\ndata. Then I asked him to please hold the cards until I could check with NARA to find out if\nNARA might want the data from the cards to supplement the information contained in their\nWorld War II POWs database that is posted on the AAD web site.\nI sent a message to NARA Archivist Lee Gladwin on April 12, 2005 and he responded\nsaying, in effect, that NARA would like to have the data if I would do the work of recording the\ndata. The Descendants Group of the ADBC assembled a team of 20 POW descendants that\nvolunteered to do the work, Joe Vater sent the ADBC registration cards to me, and then the\nproject began.\nOur screening of the ADBC cards provided military unit information for almost 5,000\nPOWs. During our work of recording data from the ADBC registration cards, Jim Erickson and\nI made a decision to expand the project to include data from sources we consider to be reliable\nsuch as unit rosters. Jim Erickson and I added the remaining data from the other sources. All\nrecords in the resulting database are marked to show the sources of the data.\nThe Master.cs file we are providing has 29,830 records. Seventeen of those are for\npeople that the NARA World War II POWs file shows as POWs; however, we have learned that\nthey never were POWs. We left those names in the file and provided explanations in the\nPOW Camps/Notes column as an assist to researchers. Some of the seventeen were killed in\ncombat, some evaded capture and remained in hiding in China, and others were guerrillas in the\nPhilippines that were never captured (such as the well-known Col. Wendell Fertig on\nMindanao). That leaves a total of 29,813 POWs in the file. We have excluded most civilians\nsince the intent of this project was to identify the military unit for POWs prior to the surrender.\nHowever, we left a few civilians due to their special relationship to the military such as Aaron\nKliatchko who served as Jewish Chaplain in Cabanatuan. Master.csv contains military unit\ninformation for 21,589 POWs which is more than 72.4% of the POWs in the file.\nCredits -\nTeam of Volunteers (all descendants of POWs of the Japanese):\nMatt Blattman, Bill Bowen, Barbara Crespo, Kris Dahlstrom, Adrienne DuSell,\nJim Erickson, Lorie Franceschi, Dianne Harrill, Greta Janz, Nancy Kragh,\nJohn B.

Then he performed extensive and\ninvaluable research as well as recording data that provided military unit information for\nthousands of additional POWs. Also, Jim assisted in editing the final database to be sure entries\nwere consistent and accurate.\nJohn B. Lewis - My function was mostly as the moderator of this project and the person that\nmade final decisions. A major function of mine was to develop a \"List of Military Units\"\ninvolved in the defensive campaign of the Southwest Pacific - in effect an \"order of battle\". I\ndecided that we should record unit information in three columns (Subordinate Unit, Assigned\nUnit and Parent Unit) and I determined the format for posting the information for each unit.\nAlso, I specified the abbreviations that would be used as we recorded data. We had to have this\ninformation at the beginning of the project so that we would have a standard way of recording\nmilitary units. During the expansion of the project when Jim Erickson and I were the only\npersons working, I recorded information from many unit rosters and internet sites.\n2\nNARA Reference Copy\nNARA prepared
