Japanese soldier Fumio Nakahira held out until April 1980

Factual Questions
1

But I can’t find a site with specific details about this. I have found some with a few references, but I am looking for a detailed covergae of the story. Are there any?

This is one that was handled by the Master:

Uncle Cecil puts in a link to what appears to be a pretty detailed website. Hope that helps.

But it was from Cecil’s article that I read all about these Japanese stragglers, but there is hardly any info provided about the “1980” guy.

Thanks anyway.

More information right here.

Didn’t click on the link in the Cecil Column, Mad Hatter?

Don’t forget Hiroo Onoda, who gave up in the Philippines in 1974 and wrote a book:

No Surrender: My Thirty Year War, published in the US by Harper & Row (though probably out of print now.)
