OK.
Vandergrift issued instruction that "Any marine which will take Japanese POW will have an obligation to guard him personally 24 hours a day."

The Tiger is Dead
I'll ask next question:
After capitulation of Japan, Allied forces toook thousands od POWs. In revange for horrible Japanese atrocities with Allied POW's, Australians tricked Japanese into signing agreement which effectively enabled them to starve many Japanese.
What was this tricky point in capitulation documents?
Where was the greatest concentration of Japanese troops and later POWs camps in responsibility of Australian Forces, where starvation or near starvation occured in 1945 and 1946?
Disclaimer: I do not judge, if this tricky policy was right or wrong. Question is just about facts. If further discussion will develop Moderator may decide to make it separate topic.
Cheers,
