LIST of POW CAMPS in the Philippine Islands
NOTE: The initials "PMPC" in parentheses after some Philippine Islands POW Camps in the list below stands for "Philippine Military Prison Camp" and that is followed by a number. This is the POW Camp identification as it was used on the cards furnished by the Japanese to POWs to send home at times. If you have a POW card that shows a PMPC number for a camp and that number is not shown on this list (or you know the correct identification of other Camps), please send that information to John Lewis (see link at bottom of the Home Page) so this list can be further annotated. This will help others that may have cards to know where their relative was when the card was sent.
