I recently purchased a WW2 Japanese Battle flag which was taken from a POW camp.  It has on it several names and numbers of POWs interned at the camp all of whom were soldiers in the RNZA.  Some have written “Fort Dorset, Wellington”.

I am hoping to frame the flag as a tribute to the POWs who suffered

 at the hands of the Japanese.  I would be extremely grateful in any help in tracing infor
mation about the POWs who have signed this flag. 
I have taken two pictures of the flag along with the names on it.  Unfortunately the names are illegible in any photographs I’ve taken. However I have written down all the names I could read.  Here is all the information I could make out:
 
 

37213 B. CHARLTON, RNZASC, Fort Dorset, Wellington

173244 ,Mr. STOREY, RNZA

34244 ,*first name illegible* “CHICK” MURPHY, RNZASC

JASE LAMP, Fort Dorset, Wellington

37424 (possibly S) WAYNE, NZASC, Fort Dorset

53839 Cpl (possibly RAYLEN)  RS, RNZASC, NZEF, Base Camp, Fort Dorset, Wellington

671300 Gnr. MARSHALL  (possibly JE), 10th Coast Regt, RNZA

95153, BL BELL BA, 14 coast regt, RNZA, Fort Dorset

31223 (possibly DLA) EDWARDS, ASC, Fort Dorset,

(Possibly PLEWLE), “SLOOSE” HUGHES, ASC, LINTON, 1st Force Wellington,.

44007

BOB OTT (possibly ORR) , 1955-1956, Eastwinn

Unfortunately the writing has faded over time so some of the information may be wrong.
