    上圖是美軍偵察機在1945年5月拍攝的照片,圖中被圍牆環繞的處所就是日本時代的屏東俘虜收容所。就我個人所知,這是目前可找到的最清楚一張二戰時期屏東俘虜收容所空照,不過當時這座戰俘營已經關閉,原來收容的戰俘被送往台北大直的收容所。跟上圖對照,下面的日治二萬五千分之一地形圖所繪的收容所跟實際的配置還不算差太遠。

      I am the grandson of Lt Col Rendle Royal Engineers who was the senior officer and camp commander of the Allied POWs of this camp known as HEITO for 2 1/2 years. My wife and I are planning a trip to Taiwan this November (2019). I would be extremely interested to hear from any other people associated with this camp. I have of course discovered Michael Hurst’s fantastic research and website http://www.powtaiwan.org

      But if any body has other information about this camp I would be enormously grateful to receive feedback.

      Dear Wei-Bin

      I tried sending you an email last Wednesday in reply to your email but I got an error message saying delivery was delayed.

      I’ve just sent the email again but thought this might be an easier way of checking the lines of communication were still open

      regards

      Alistair
