Osaka 6B - Akenobe

To honour those who served their country

“In this their finest hour”

Osaka 6B - Akenobe

(Later known as Osaka 21B)

PoWs worked in Mitsubishi Corporation copper mine. Known as the "Three Star Diamond Mine".

American POWS transferred here from Sakurajima had previously arrived on the Coral Maru, also known as the Taga Maru.

Australian POWS arrived on the Kyokka Maru per Australian POW historian Neil MacPherson.

British PoWs were ex Hong Kong. A few on the Lisbon Maru but most on later ship.
