| CANADIAN POW ROSTER AT OMINE There were approximately 700 POWs at Omine camp - of this amount, 166 were Canadian. This camp was located approximately 160 km northeast of Nagasaki on Kyushu Island between Kawasaki and Soeda districts (not to be confused with the other Omine Camp located in the Tokyo suburb of Kawasaki which also contained Canadian POWs). Special thanks to ex-Omine POWs Bob Barter, Lance Ross, Ernest Welsh, John Marriott, George Coutts, and Bill MacWhirter. From their diaries and/or correspondance, I was able to compile the list of names below. For the Canadian POWs who died at Omine Camp (noted in the list below), click here for circumstances of their deaths |

As well, he adds that his research has listed the following Canadian men as having been at Omine Camp: William T. Cox and Frank McColm.
