Wikipedia Overview
A Taiwanese Imperial Japan Serviceman is any Taiwanese person who served in the Imperial Japanese Army or Navy during World War II whether as a soldier, a sailor, or in another non-combat capacity. According to statistics provided by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the subsequent World War II, a total of 207,183 Taiwanese served in the military of Imperial Japan and 30,304 of them were declared killed or missing in action. Most Taiwanese servicemen up to 1944 were in non-combatant roles and deployed in Southeast Asia with a small number being stationed in China. Taiwanese servicemen were abandoned by Japan at the end of the war and neither orders or transportation were provided for them by Japan, owing to logistic deficiencies, or the United States. Most of them returned to Taiwan but a large number also ended up in mainland China. Ex-servicemen failed to obtain restitution for unpaid wages from Japan in the following decades.
