All Individuals Tried by Australian Authorities for War Crimes
What follows is a searchable list of all 924 individual prosecutions conducted by Australian authorities in the Pacific from the end of the war until 1951. I mentioned on the previous page that this list was under construction. Well, I have now got to a stage where it is complete insofar as content is concerned; what I need to do now is go through and error-check which will take a while. For anyone interested, the references used in compiling this list and a few other tips and considerations when using this list are given in the page accessible through this hyperlink or the link at the bottom of this page.
I think that’s enough for now except to add that the photos of those individuals who faced Australian war crimes trials are not available in digital form anywhere else. The originals are held in the NAA’s North Melbourne office and represent a great resource for those of us seeking to make sense of this story and speak about it with some precision. And, as usual, any comments can be passed on through the ‘Contact’ page which is available through the ‘Other’ link at the top of this page.

| Kitayama | Minokichi | This individual seems to have been involved with the large trial of Capt. SHIROZU Wadami on 15 Feb 46 which has been a source of problems with these records up to this point [18 Jan 25]. I see that there is a page in the NAA trial records which lists the names of all those FOUND GUILTY at this trial and, since Kitayama was acquitted, he does not appear there. The 36 defendants relates only to the 36 found guilty. [I will now attach a copy of the page listing the 36 defendants found guilty to this and all other Shirozu Wadami file records – but that currently amounts to only seven records, including this one.] The Narrelle Morris list summarises the charges as: Ill-treatment of Australian and Dutch PW at TAN TOEY Camp, Ambon, between February 1942 and August 1945.

That trial involved DAN Tatsuo and others. He was also tried along with 15 others led by Lt ITO Hiroshi. That is the one I was able to download and on which these comments are based. ITO Hiroshi was tried with 15 others for the execution of captured Dutch and RAAF personnel at Koepang, Timor, btw March and May 42. I found this through a name search on the NAA website.

Nishimura and probably Miyamoto on the same day). This is a great find which was not on this list on the first pass but the link is here, found by searching Nishimura Takuma on the NAA site. The entry for FUJITA is probably going to duplicate an incomplete one I have on file already. The notes says “case against this accused withdrawn”.

HWR, I cannot find a reference to him listed her under ‘Legal Tools’. The NAA has two records which are both the photos listed here under that name. “NAGATA Shinichi” looks to be a different person based on his rank. [And the photos confirm that Nakata and Nagata are different people: one is holding the number 537; the other is holding 112 and they are definitely different.] It surprises me that there is no trial record when the NAA Series B5563 photo indicates he received a death sentence. It is also odd he does not appear here in the Morris or Phillipps lists. Aha! Here is the sticking point: Capt. Nakata was tried by the British at Jesselton. A Google search reveals some interesting information and a series of photos on the 2/4th MG Bn website as well as a sketch at the AWM which notes that Nakata “tried to commit suicide on a number of occasions”. | Kuching, Borneo; Tried at Labuan | See ‘Comments’ | No summary | Photo | ||
