I have been working on an update of ""Amid Th' Encircling Gloom - Corregidor and Survival " and located this image of the Nisshin Flour Mill, at kawasaki, where Al McGrew was a POW for a time, prior to his being transferred to Suwa. The caption is "British and Dominion POW walk along the jetty of their flour mill prison camp in Japan to the landing craft, 1945. Image courtesy of Argus Newspaper Collection of Photographs, State Library of Victoria." The image is from the SINGAPORE WAR CRIMES TRIALS Website. As Singapore served as the base for British war crimes investigations and prosecutions in Asia, the Singapore Trials dealt with war crimes committed not only in Singapore but in other locations through Asia. McGrew was not at the Nisshin POW camp at the time of Japan's surrender. He had been transferred to Suwa. Here is a link to a collection of images of the camps in Japan, including Suwa. McGrew passed through the Omori, Nisshin and Suwa Camps.
