Matsumura, Richard Tsutomu

Part of a group of almost forty Hawaii families (wives, mothers and children) sent to the Mainland for intended repatriation to Japan along with their husbands and fathers already in incarceration. The families' transfer was overseen by the War Department, and the group was accompanied by Hawaii physician Isao Murai, a representative of the American Red Cross.

Included among the repatriates who left from New York on the M.S. Gripsholm were 72 Hawaii internees and their families.
