Hi All,
I recently received excellent help in translating a index card from WW2. I have another such card, where I am hoping to find out what happened to the man in question.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

Died 26th July Showa 19(not sure what is meant by JA112 P.32) - above written what I assume is the time of death (12:30)
underneath, same date plus cause of death: 慢性大腸炎兼脚気ニテ死亡ス - chronic colitis and beri-beri
Onset of illness - 19th July Showa 19

Place of death, Burma, Rangoon (the remaining kanji are 馬来 第四分所 and are a reference to the camp - something like "Malaya No 4.").
Buried, Rangoon Cantonment Cemetery.
 
Thank you once again nekojita. This helps clear up a long misunderstanding over the cause of death. Official documents did state beri beri, while testimony of comrades mentioned dysentery. It now seems it was a combination of both.

Best wishes

Steve
