General Description
Roediger was offloaded at Java with CO Arthur Blackburn. The men of 2/3 were to support the Dutch East Indies who in fact made no effort to fight the Japanese invasion and capitulated. Hence they were taken POWs of Japan.
Roediger was recovered from Ohama POW Camp, Japan at the end of the war. Please read further
