	Yokohama is a WW2 POW site so your FIL's docs are not on line. This site shows you how to apply for them https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records If your FIL is still alive there is no charge. His widow can apply free as well. Any one else the cost is £30 and there is a wait of several months.

	Some POW records for WW2 are available. What was his name, rank, regiment and regimental number?
