Apalon (also: Camp 82 Kilo) was a Japanese prisoner of war work camp during World War II. The camp was initially used for the construction of a 50 metres steel bridge.[2][3] It served as the headquarters of group 5. The first prisoners arrived in May 1943. From July 1944 onwards, it served as a repair shop for locomotives. The camp closed in August 1945.[4]
