Notes about Pierre Edouard Leon O'Herne

Pierre Edouard Léon O'Herne werd als krijgsgevangene op het schip Tamahoku Maru naar Japan vervoerd, zie:

〓 Ondergang van de TAMAHOKO MARU op 24 juni 1944 ongeveer 60 km ten zuid-westen van Naga­saki Het schip werd getorpedeerd door de Tang en zonk in slechts enkele minuten. De begeleidende Japanse schepen hielpen de krijgs­gevan­genen, die in zee dreven, niet. De volgende morgen verscheen een reddingsboot (kleine walvis­vaarder), die 211 drenke­lingen aan boord nam en in Nagasaki aan wal bracht. Nog dezelfde middag werden zij overgebracht naar het kamp Fukuoka 14B, Nagasaki.

〓 De Tamahoko Maru vertrok op 20 juni 1944 uit Takao-Formosa naar Japan. Behalve een lading kopererts, suiker en rijst, waren aan boord ook 772 krijgsgevangenen (PoW), waarvan er 560 stierven : 197 Britten, 42 Amerikane, 258 Australiers en 281 Nederlanders. Bovendien bevonden zich 500 Japanse soldaten aan boord. De krijgs­gevan­genen waren overgenomen van de MIYO MARU, die onderweg van Manila naar Takao in een tyfoon terecht kwam en zoveel schade opliep, dat het niet verder kon naar Japan.
