Japanese POW Camp ID

I am trying to identify the camp Alfred Ernest Barden who died 2nd April, 1945 was in. The only information I have found is H6B Omine Coal Mine, Yamaguchi. Can anyone please point me in the right direction. Many thanks.

 

Thank you very much, very helpful.

 

Thank you for help previously given but now I have another question. Alfred Barden served with 95th Battery, 48 LT A.A. Regiment, Royal Artillery. How can I find out how long he was a POW? Is it possible for him to have been in England at any time in 1944?

Thanks again.

 

Hello, and welcome, Janet, that questions seems to be a very sensitive one.
The entire unit appears to have been captured during or shortly after the fall of Singapore in February 1942 and it would be extremely unlikely for anyone to have been able to have returned to the UK until after the Japanese surrender. I suspect you already are aware of that, so please be discreet.
For what it is worth, 101 men of that unit died, most are commemorated on the Singapore Memorial.
You will find more information here http://www.roll-of-honour.org.uk/Java_Index/html/b_database_52.htm"]
or simply try Googling.....
Hope that is of some help.

 

Thank you very much for helping me. I wondered about the timing but I did not know when Alfred was captured. However it is not the first time I have come across this problem, and I will be discreet.

Thank you for the memorial link, much appreciated.
