Ronald Shaw
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Ronald Shaw (1920 - 9 August 1945) was a corporal in the Royal Air Force. He is noted for being the first prisoner of war to be listed at the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims and the second non-Japanese (the first being a Chinese civilian).[1]
He was captured when his plane was shot down by Japanese forces near Java, and was then sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in Nagasaki, where, on 9 August 1945, he was killed when an atomic bomb was dropped on the city.[1]
