    Hi All,

    It's one of those wonderful periods of time when things just seem to keep coming my way.

    A contact in the US has just given me the heads up on this piece of SEAC newsreel on U-Tube. It is the liberation footage for the 350-400 or so POW's of Rangoon Jail, who were forced to march out of the jail in late April 1945 with their Japanese captors. It is thought that the Japanese were planning to take them across into Thailand on their retreat from Rangoon!

    They were finally left by the Japanese at a small village called Waw, very near the town of Pegu, in Burma. The POW's eventually found their way close to the advancing 14th Army and were liberated by the West Yorkshires. This must have been very emotional for this regiment, as there were many men of the 2nd West Yorks held in Rangoon.

    Obviously it is sad for me to think that my Grandfather would have been featured on this footage, if he had survived his time in Rangoon, but nevertheless it is a fantastic piece of POW history on film.

    The frustration really comes from knowing all the names of the liberated men, but never being able to put those names to these faces.

    Hope this will be of some interest to forum members?

    Thanks for posting that Steve. I found it very interesting, uplifting to see those lads smiling after going through the things they went through.

    Nevermind.

    Re. the footage. So far I have had responses from 2 of my Chindit families who have spotted their man in the film.:D

    This is just what I always hoped for, but I still wish I had a survivor for each regiment in the jail. We could all sit down and name some of their old buddies!

    Thanks Dee/Andy,

    I have contacted the person who uploaded the footage (a friend of a friend of a friend) and asked them to consider changing the piece title to include the words Rangoon Jail. This is in the hope that it will respond to a Google search more readily.

    I just love watching it over and over again!

    Hi All,

    I have to sadly report that I have just been contacted by another of my Rangoon Jail families. It seems that I have failed by less than a month to get this footage to the last Other ranked soldier I knew to have survived Rangoon!

    He passed away aged 93. He was a soldier in the West Yorkshire Regiment and we had a fantastic telephone conversation earlier this year about his time in Rangoon Jail.

    I feel tremendously saddened that he has missed this opportunity by such a short space of time, I think he would have really enjoyed looking at all those old comrades.

    Bamboo.

    Although I have very strong feelings about the inhumane treatment afforded to British & Colonial POWs in the Far East I confess to not being very well up in the geography of the area.

    This accounts for me thinking that dear old Len Baynes would have been imprisoned in that area so I sent him the link to the Rangoon video and received this reply

    Ron, I was never POW in Rangoon (or Burma) until we were released, and flown out to Rangoon hospital by a Yank in a Dakota.. So am not in a position to judge. I'm OK - 92 in the new year, and waiting for another cateract op. So can't expect too much! All the best, Len



    I'm sure that all who know of him through this forum will join with me in wishing him good luck with his future op,

    For newcomers, you can read about Len here:

    Ron,
    I have just spent the morning reading Len's story (rather than doing uni work!) and must it is an informative and very interesting read. Please could you pass my thanks onto Len for both his service and the write up he has done and also best wishes for the op :)

    I am hoping to show this video to a chap who was present when a POW camp near Rangoon was liberated - I am not sure if it was this one or not, but I'll see if he can shed any light on it!

    Mathsmal,

    That sounds exciting, do let me know what he thinks. If he was one of the gents in the film or knows any of them, then I may be able to help out with names and other information.

    Thanks.

    Greetings, all.

    Bamboo and I have been kindred spirits for a couple of years or so, with our mutual interest being Rangoon Jail. I think I'm the one who pointed out the video to him not too long ago; Leslie Roane (read notes below) had sent me a DVD of the footage and then had uploaded it to YouTube. My contribution to this forum now: detailed notes to guide the viewer through these fascinating 9-plus minutes of video history. It will be a bit challenging to follow along, and I can't guarantee that the min/sec counter will precisely match you own individual attempts. Close, though, at worst.

    Hopefully all the factual tidbits are accurate.

    There is further stunning Rangoon Jail footage in the Imperial War Museum archives, as well as even more in the US National Archives (NARA). The IWM film is copyrighted, while the NARA footage has no restriction. It is very sad that most of these men never saw this footage, and sad that most faces will never be identified.

    Cheers,

    Matt

    111 ADC 4269
    Newly freed Rangoon Jail POWs that were force marched from Rangoon to Pegu, Burma

    This footage is now on YouTube at: YouTube - L8Es's Channel

    This footage was purchased from the U.S. National Archives by Mike Bonnie, the son of Irene (Runher) Sawyer Bonnie. Irene was married to Rangoon Jail POW survivor 16046505 S/Sgt. Francis Eugene SAWYER, who was the flight engineer on Lt. Harold GOAD’s US 10th AAF, 7th BG, 493rd BS Squadron B-24 crew when shot down on Oct 14, 1943. Captured by the Japanese and imprisoned in Rangoon Jail, SAWYER was part of the group of Rangoon POWs forced marched to Pegu, Burma. SAWYER passed away in 2008 at the age of 89.

    The first draft of these notes was written by Leslie Kelley Roane, great-niece of 1st Lt. John C. KELLEY, then updated by researcher Matt Poole. Also incorporated into the notes are comments from Jim Miller (son of POW O-660175 Capt. Donald “Red” MILLER, U.S. P-51 pilot, 1st Air Commando Group, shot down Feb 14, 1944 north of Mandalay) and Glenda Lawson (daughter of POW Charles PERRY; see further biographical details below). Like SAWYER, John KELLEY was in the 10th AAF, 7th BG, 493rd BS stationed in Pandaveswar, India. He was shot down with Maj. Wesley WERNER’s B-24 crew on Nov 14, 1943. Two crewmen died in the crash, one died of burns the following day, and five other horribly burned crew – including KELLEY – died as POWs in Rangoon Jail, Burma. Two more survived imprisonment, including Maj. WERNER. There had been little medical treatment given by the Japanese to these men. KELLEY was the last to die, on Dec 17, 1943. He had been Lt. Harold GOAD’s bombardier, but illness prevented him from flying on Oct 14, when the GOAD B-24 was lost.

    Please contact Leslie at 901-476-6533 or lkroane AT bellsouth.net if you have additions or correction to this index. She would like to identify as many men as possible in this footage. Or contact Matt Poole at: feb2944 AT aol.com . (Naturally, in each of these e-mail addresses, one must delete the AT and two spaces and replace with @.)

The four other captured members of their crew were tortured and beheaded on Feb 7, 1945. The last to die, 1393806 F/Sgt Stanley James WOODBRIDGE, was posthumously awarded the George Cross in 1948 in recognition of his exceptional bravery under torture. BRADLEY died in Mountain View, California on Nov 13, 1971.

    This video in places has some irrelevant modern audio that does not go with the footage.

    00:00 “111 ADC 4269 this transfer made 8/4/03 TRT 07:55”
    00:13 Closeup of chalk-applied notation: “PAULI 706 A”, possibly just to right of, and below, a white painted US star insignia, under which can be seen “S. A.” – as in “U.S.A.”?
    00:15 American-built Sherman tanks, with soldiers atop, ford a shallow watercourse in a flat, open landscape.
    00:26 Note the twin-span steel girder bridge in the background, behind the crossing tank being filmed.
    00:31 Four men standing in front of trucks with tattered flag waving in background. The flag seems to show a dragon or some similar serpent.
    00:36 Close up of two of these men smiling & waving. The one on the left is gaunt – very skinny neck – presumably an ex-Rangoon Jail POW just released after the forced march to Pegu. The man on the right appears to be an officer, with a ribbon bar above his left breast pocket. Perhaps he was not a POW, just an officer in the British Army involved in the current offensive action?
    00:42 Wide angle shot of group of POW’s. Someone who looks like Maj. Wesley WERNER is on far left, front, wearing full-length baggy pants and an officer’s cap. He does not seem as tall and lanky as WERNER, and the cap is slightly different than the one WERNER clearly wears in footage seen elsewhere in this video. Also the flap over his left breast pocket does not have the patch shown elsewhere. For example, see a comparison in the images from the 00:42 mark versus the 02:55 mark.
    00:50 Camera pans left. To viewer’s left of officer in long pants, behind one of men with wide-brimmed hat, a tall man’s face partially seen: Lt. Col Douglas G. GILBERT.
    00:52 Close up of two men previously seen in group photo, one on left in wide brimmed hat. Medical truck in background.
    00:55 Two more men from group photo, looking like they’d been through an ordeal. Camera pans to right. More scruffy-looking men from previous group photo.
    01:00 Short man in officer’s cap smiling, with bad teeth.
    01:02 3 bare-chested men. Middle one looks familiar to Matt Poole – possibly an American airman.
    01:06 Man with scar on his right eye and side of face
    01:11 Man with brimmed hat and mustache (very dark)
    01:18 Film ID board reads, in part: “SEAC PHOTO UNITS (US), DATE 4/30/45”.
    01:18 Rows of tents & men milling about – most are ex-POWs. One, left of center, wears a loincloth and has left elbow bandaged.
    01:27 Men receiving items from backs of American trucks
    01:30 Men smiling, putting on new uniforms. Some wear tams on heads. To viewer’s right of man with bright towel is a man wearing only a loincloth and a hat.
    01:37 Different camera angle of same group. Looking at backside of man in loincloth seen in previous scene. Shirtless man in hat, smoking, in long pants, exits frame to right.
    01:40 In group with others, man holding pants, motioning that they are too long
    01:48 Men in line receiving uniforms
    01:56 Men forming a line. Medical truck in background. Further military vehicles in distance. Behind shirtless man in light-colored pants is a man in line, holding cigarette in right hand. Receding hairline. He is also seen in a closeup with three others in Imperial War Museum footage (J / FUB / 243) shot at the same time.
    02:02 Unrelated modern soundtrack starts again.
    02:07 Medical truck pulling away, tents in background. Front, center: man in t-shirt with back to camera raises right arm to offer something to the men. Looks like paper – forms to fill out? Blank paper for writing home? In front of him, facing camera, wearing shirt and smoking cigarette with left hand: Bill THOMAS. To THOMAS’s immediate left is Perry MARSHALL, his crewmate, shirt unbuttoned, hands on hips. T-shirt man’s arm goes down, faces seen better. Further in the background a man opens up a large white towel or sheet, behind and slightly to the left of THOMAS and MARSHALL.
    Another crewmate of THOMAS and MARSHALL, Charles PERRY, is seen in this same sequence, behind them and to the viewer’s left. As the truck moves left, PERRY, in front of it, moves right. He wears shorts and an unbuttoned shirt which is tattered in the back. He carries something light colored in his right hand. He walks toward the man opening up the towel. THOMAS, MARSHALL, and PERRY are seen in further video.
    02:16 Men eating fruit & smiling
    4/30/1945
    02:20 “PRISONERS RELEASED” film ID board. Middle finger on right hand holding the board is heavily bandaged.
    02:22 Close up of man eating melon
    02:29 Wider shot of same group seen at 02:16, some eating melons.
    02:34 Smiling, bearded man on left, curly hair, unbuttoned shirt, towel on shoulder, talks to man with CBI patch on sleeve. This is a U.S. P-47 pilot, Lt. Richard “Red” GILMORE, 1st Air Commando Group. Shortly thereafter in this same clip, Lt. Hilton WEESNER, another 1 ACG P-47 pilot, comes into view from the right with a baseball style hat on and stand next to GILMORE. Notice a fork in WEEZNER’s left breast pocket, his crooked front teeth, and slight mustache.
    02:41 Men dressing in newly-acquired clothes, in two different short film clips.
    02:52 Three men talking. Tall man on right is Maj. Wesley WERNER (with his self-styled officer’s cap).
    03:00 Men receiving more uniforms / “new kit”
    03:15 Shirtless man with large tattoos on his back receives supplies from Indian troops. There is also a small tattoo on the man’s left upper arm.
    03:20 Men in line facing camera. From about 03:20 – 03:27, a pagoda and a single tree are seen in the far background. In this sequence I see 308th Bomb Group crewmates Charles PERRY, Bill THOMAS, and Perry MARSHALL, all in the mid-background, as such:

    >>>>>> First, only C. PERRY is seen in the background, immediately to the right of the pagoda, and facing right. To the viewer’s right of C. PERRY, the tall Maj. Wesley WERNER, wearing an officer’s cap, stands facing the camera under the left-side of the tree.
    >>>>>> Then close to the camera and a bit out of focus, a man crosses from left to right, obscuring C. PERRY. When he passes, we see C. PERRY again.
    >>>>>> When this man in the front is almost out of the picture to the right, Bill THOMAS clearly is seen between three men in the foreground and a 4th man in the foreground who is wearing a baseball kind of cap. C. PERRY is still hidden in the background.
    >>>>>> The out of focus man in the extreme foreground crosses back from the right to the left. When he is on the left edge, C. PERRY is seen again, with the pagoda almost directly behind him. He is looking downward.
    >>>>>> B. THOMAS is still seen on the right, partly obscured.
    >>>>>> When the out of focus foreground guy finally disappears on the left, C. PERRY is seen, under the tree, in a sideways view of his head. He is close to B. THOMAS.
    >>>>>> B. THOMAS disappears from view, but C. PERRY remains clearly under the tree for a bit. Then he, too, is hidden by others.
    >>>>>> P. MARSHALL then is seen clearly, still looking down, and under the tree now. Behind him is the tall Wesley WERNER in his officer’s cap.
    >>>>>> With P. MARSHALL still in view under the tree, B. THOMAS reemerges on the right, still looking down.

    4/17/1945
    03:26 Short segment, seems out of sequence. Men, possibly Indian troops, firing machine guns.
    03:45 Switches back to film of newly-freed POW’s, mostly sitting in tents. Date not given, but certainly it is the same as the earlier footage: 4/30/1945.
    03:52 Close up of released POW’s sitting in tents. One officer is writing something, using a mess kit? as a solid writing surface.
    03:59 Close up of same smiling officer.
    04:01 Men talking in tent. Shirtless man in center, foreground has bad teeth.
    04:05 Hilton WEESNER, wearing a cap, is behind the tent pole. The bearded Red GILMORE is to his left (in shorts, no shoes). A bespectacled man (not a POW, it seems) looks on from right. To WEESNER’s right is a dark-haired man who is seen in the next clip, and also two more upcoming ones (04:23, 04:27).
    04:10 Close up of four smiling men in tent. Hilton WEESNER can be to speak. The man to his right shows up in the 04:05 clip and again with others outside of tent, starting at 04:23 (tall, on right). He lights the cigarette of the man at 04:27.
    04:17 Another close up of men in tent. The man in the middle of the five, with a crookedly-placed cap atop his dark hair, is also seen on left in the beginning of the 03:20 film sequence, with a white towel draped on left forearm and a cigarette positioned behind his left ear. The camera pans right, revealing American Flight Officer Robert HALL wearing a baseball hat with the brim slightly tilted back/up (dark hair). The man furthest from the camera is also seen behind & between the two men lighting a cigarette at 04:27.
    04:23 Standing with others in front of tents, a man in loin cloth lighting cigarette. On right is the tall man seen next to WEESNER in the tent in film clips at 04:05 and 04:10. He is also seen in the next clip.
    04:27 Man removes cigarette from package & lights off of cigarette of tall man to his right. This tall man is als seen in the tent with Hilton WEESNER at 04:05 and 04:10 and at 04:23 with the loincloth-clad smoker. Between the two smokers is a man with a forage cap who is also seen in the tent with Hilton WEESNER at 04:17. Note the unidentified patch on the hat of the man on the right.
    04:42 Close up of Robert HALL smiling, talking with unidentified man to his left. Both wear caps, with “7th Bomb” written on the bill of the cap on the right. Presumably he was in the 7th Bomb Group. Between the two is the same tall man seen at 03:20 and 04:17.
    04:55 SEAC Photo Unit (US) photo ID board is briefly seen. The date given, April 28, 1945, is two days before this film was shot! The date of the main group of force-marched POW’s coming into Allied hands was April 30.
    05:00 Man in loin cloth & man with patch on brim of hat. Behind man with patch is the same tall man seen in several previous clips.
    05:07 Close up of man smoking
    05:13 Close up of two men
    05:17 Man smoking with dark hair & beard
    05:21 Blonde man
    05:27 Brief shot of man in hat with brimmed hat turned up
    05:29 Men in line receiving socks. Among them is RAF B-24 Liberator pilot, S/Ldr James W. BRADLEY DFC. He is third in line, behind shirtless man with cigarette behind right ear. BRADLEY, tall, broad-shouldered, and bearded, has shirt or jacket draped across his shoulders. His head is partially outside of the image frame.
    05:44 Thin men dressing by truck
    05:49 Start of 10 second clip of S/Ldr James W. BRADLEY DFC. Tall, bearded, balding – smoking a cigarette, exiting to the right. BRADLEY is also seen in line at 05:29 and again in two other clips (07:37 – 07:41).
    05:59 Maj. Wesley WERNER walking with supplies in hand, accompanied by man also carrying a box and other supplies (cigarettes?).
    06:06 Close up of Wesley WERNER on right with same man seen at 05:59. Talking to someone on left who may have pilot’s wings on left chest.
    06:15 308th Bomb Group crewmates Charles PERRY, Perry MARSHALL, and Bill THOMAS are all seen in this next segment. THOMAS eats watermelon, closest to camera. Behind him, on the far left (left edge of image) is Charles PERRY, looking very serious. Between C. PERRY and THOMAS is Perry MARSHALL, with a broad grin on his face. C. PERRY and P. MARSHALL exit to the left.
    06:26 Just as P. MARSHALL exits the frame, Robert HALL enters, on the far right. Short, with dark hair and a ball cap. He approaches the truck for a handout.
    06:27 THOMAS, left, offers his watermelon to another man, shirtless and smiling, facing camera. This man takes a bite. Possibly the man with his back to the camera between THOMAS and the curly-haired man is C. PERRY, awaiting another handout. Difficult to say.
    06:33 Men reading newspaper, man with patch on hat. “Red” GILMORE, broadly grinning with his beard & mustache, is on the right.
    06:38 Man in loincloth has bandage applied to left leg. Bandaged foot of another is seen to right. Bandaged right elbow of another seen.
    06:43 Group of men seen in background of previous scene. Same man with bandaged elbow. He also has left arm bandaged.
    06:50 Men talking. Maj. Wesley WERNER is tall man third from left.
    06:54 Great close up of broadly grinning Maj. Wesley WERNER and his altered officer’s cap.
    07:04 Wide shot of men getting uniforms, etc., in front of trucks.
    07:15 Another shot of men in line getting supplies. Pagoda in background.
    07:20 Close up of men in line, one with white sleveless undershirt.
    07:24 Another close up of men in line
    07:27 Men in line getting shoes. In the foreground an Indian or British soldier with crossed suspenders stands with back to camera.
    07:34 In the same scene, S/Ldr James BRADLEY, wearing a telltale light colored shirt, enters the frame from left and moves to mid-frame. He is tall, bald on top, with a thick beard, and is very athletic looking with broad shoulders. He is hidden behind men as he moves right. He is seen with his back to the camera when last seen just to the right of the suspendered soldier.
    07:40 SEAC Photo Unit (US) photo ID board is briefly seen. The date given, April 28, 1945, is two days before this film was shot! The date of the main group of force-marched POW’s coming into Allied hands was April 30.
    07:41 More film clips of men receiving supplies, with trucks in background.
    07:48 Another view of men in line, some carrying handouts of supplies.
    08:01 Men directly face camera and smile. The tallest among them is S/Ldr James BRADLEY, seen at center behind the men at front. His face is sometimes blocked by the men in front of him. BRADLEY, bald on top and with a thick beard, wears an unbuttoned light colored shirt. He is seen clearly standing directly behind the man wearing a sleveless white undershirt. BRADLEY looks to his left, then turns to moves over a little to his right. What looks like areas of gray in his beard are noticeable.
    08:03 Screen goes blank, keeps rolling.
    09:30 End of segment
