Another group of American POWs from the hellship Hokusen Maru were sent to a camp that was set up in a school in the village of Gouba near the town of Toroku (Douliou). 294 American POWs were housed in the classrooms of the school, and because of the terrible ordeal they had been through on the ship which resulted in many being very ill, they were not required to do 'slave labour' as such. They were engaged in light farming and gardening and chores around the camp. Some of the men who were more fit worked in a nearby sugar factory. Surprisingly, considering what they had been through, there was only one death in this camp at this time. All of the POWs said that this was the best camp they were ever in and wished they could remain there for the duration of the war. However, such was not to be as in January 1945 most of those men who were by now recovered were sent to Keelung and put on a ship called the Enoshima Maru and sent on to Japan where they remained until war's end.
In early March 1945, 43 POWs from Inrin Camp - most of whom had originally been in Taichu Camp, were moved to Toroku Camp. Also about that time a number of POWs from Heito Camp came to Toroku Camp following the bombing and the closure of that camp. Two American and two British POWs died in the following month the men spent in Toroku Camp. On April 11th the camp was closed and the remaining Toroku POWs were all transferred to Shirakawa Camp where they stayed until the end of the war.
In 2009 the Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society erected a memorial to the Toroku prisoners of war on the site of their former camp on the grounds of the Gouba Elementary School near Douliou which is the present name for Toroku.
