OTHER wo 235 CASE FILES
POWS and civilians in other territories

 This website is dedicated to Japanese war crimes conducted in British Malaya and British Borneo only. As such, details of British war crimes trials of cases involving Prisoners of War (POWs) or civilians in other territories, have not been included in depth. However, so that these victims are also noted and acknowledged, I have included a list below of WO 235 cases that are not detailed on this website to help facilitate research.

It is hoped that the list below will be useful for those interested in researching further about war crimes involving Allied POWs and civilians in Hong Kong, China, Burma, Thailand and Indonesia. This is because, 
when conducting a search at The National Archives (TNA UK),  only the names of the accused/defendant(s), the location of the trials and the dates of the military trial are listed in the guide. Details about the victim(s), the charge and the location of the alleged crimes are not included. For the names of the accused and other details to facilitate your research, please click on the corresponding TNA link or ICC link to the right of each case number. If you'd like to know more about a particular case, you can order the file from TNA or search on ICC.
