翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Kenneth Harrison (POW) ： ウィキペディア英語版 Kenneth Harrison (POW) Lance Sergeant Kenneth I Harrison (1918-1982) of Melbourne was an Australian anti-tank non-commissioned officer who fought in the Malayan Campaign. He was eventually captured by the Japanese, becoming a prisoner of war held initially at Changi in Singapore.〔http://home.vicnet.net.au/~antitank/General_Information/Nominal_Roll/Nominal_Roll/roll_h_to_l.htm〕 When the war ended he was among the first foreigners to enter Hiroshima. After the war he became an author, writing about his experiences. ==Malaya== Harrison was a member of the Australian Army's 4th Anti-Tank Regiment.〔http://home.vicnet.net.au/~antitank/Publications/It_Happened_III/Chapters/Singapore/singapore.htm〕 He participated in one of the few successes in Malaya at the Battle of Muar, which saw Japanese armour held-up or destroyed, before the IJA's 'Tiger' Yamashita's bicycle-mounted corps successfully engulfed Commonwealth positions and eventually took Singapore, a historically severe and unexpected blow to the British Empire. Although outnumbered by two to one, the Japanese who had air and naval superiority conquered the first major strategic defense point of the Far-Eastern British forces. This represented a severe blow to British prestige. After the Japanese surrender the territories in the region generally found independence. Harrison recounts overseeing the destruction of multiple Japanese tanks, which drew into the question some of the mythology surrounding those who eventually received full accolades. In any case, after briefly making contact with Malayan Peoples' Anti-Japanese Army (who were deeply mistrustful of the ethnic Malays), Harrison declined the opportunity to join the guerilla's and surrendered himself to Japanese officers on 23 January 1942.〔http://home.vicnet.net.au/~antitank/General_Information/Nominal_Roll/Nominal_Roll/roll_h_to_l.htm〕 Following his surrender to the Japanese, Harrison spent years held in various POW camps including Singapore's infamous Changi prison, as well as in Thailand constructing the Burma-Thai railroad, before being transferred to the Japanese mainland where he worked in a shipyard and a coal mine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenneth Harrison (POW)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
