Differences between the Japanese list and the accompanying English list of military
personnel
The English list of military personnel on board the Montevideo Maru, which
was originally bound with the Japanese list, is not a translation of the military
entries on the Japanese list. There are a number of significant differences between
them.
The Japanese list is arranged numerically by a running number for each entry, and
records the name, age, rank, soldier type, occupation or special skill, unit, place
of birth, and comment – usually the place of capture.
The English list is arranged alphabetically and records (in most cases) an assigned
number, name, branch of service (A Army, AF Air Force, N Navy), rank, (in some cases)
service number, and unit. There are known to be errors in the recorded service numbers.
The red numbers on this list indicate non-commissioned officers.
There is one unnumbered name on the English list not present in any form on the
Japanese list: OLSON C John, A, Gnr, QX14904, 1st Ind. Compy.
