Some POW records for WW2 are available. What was his name, rank, regiment and regimental number?

Yokohama is a WW2 POW site so your FIL's docs are not on line.


This site shows you how to apply for them

If your FIL is still alive there is no charge. His widow can apply free as well. Any one else the cost is £30 and there is a wait of several months.
