This paper analyses 1,507 Japanese internment cards for the Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch Leger (KNIL) during the Secord World War, which were translated from Japanese to English by the POW Research Network, Japan, and were made available in a database at the National Archives of the Netherlands. The cards reveal a lot of information about the deceased, including when, where and how they died. However, they were originally written in Japanese so the bereaved families found it difficult to understand the information.The database enabled anyone to access the cards both in Japanese and English. By using the database, this paper analyses how and where the dead were treated and managed. The information extracted from the cards shows that, in general, the dead were buried if they were located in camps outside Japan, and were cremated if they died in camps in Japan. If they died on board a ship they were given a burial at sea. The analysis also discloses lists of burial places and when, where and how the remains of the dead were returned to the Allied forces. This analysis provides an example of how quantitative research can be conducted by using the database.

This paper re-examines the propaganda activities at the Bunka Camp. The Bunka Camp was set-up by the Japanese Army during the Second World War with the aim of creating propaganda programs by engaging the POWs in the process. Post war memoirs and narratives about the Camp were told from the Japanese side and their focus was on the programs called“ Zero Hour” and“ Hinomaru Hour”. However, it is impossible to understand the whole picture of the Camp activities from these narratives because none of these authors, either civilian or military, were involved in the making of the programs across the entire period of the camp's existence. This paper pays attention to the last three POWs who were brought into the camp three months before the end of the war. They were not documented in the official Japanese records. By disclosing the stories of the three POWs, new programs other than the ones previously mentioned will be brought to light. In addition, the attitudes of the POWs towards the propaganda activities will be revealed. This research is essential in order to understand the Bunka Camp, not only from the Japanese perspective, but also from the perspectives of the POWs'.
