      Thanks for the clarification. My grandfather was mobilized in Balikpapan on 8 December, 1941. He managed to make his way (with some other BPM personnel and soldiers) the through the jungle to Samarinda II airfield, and was flown to Java. He was hospitalized for malaria/blackwater fever before the capitulation. Evidently the hospital was in Malang, as the Japanse POW card lists that city as his place of capture. He told me he marched straight from the hospital to the prison camp.
