Royal was taken prisoner by the Japanese when Corregidor surrendered on May 6th 1942. His last known prison camp was Bilibid before he was put aboard the hellship Arisan Maru.
"A draft of prisoners was assembled at Old Bilibid Prison, Manila, Philippines starting in late September 1944 for transport to Japan to work as forced labor. Many of the men came from the Cabanatuan Prison Camp. The draft of approximately 1,800 boarded the Arisan Maru and departed Manila on October 10, 1944. The ship sailed south to the vicinity of Palawan Island and laid over until 18 October. One reason advanced for the move South and the layover was to avoid US air and naval action. The Arisan returned to Manila on the 19th, took on supplies on the 20th and left in a convoy around midnight headed for Takao, Formosa.
The 6886 ton Arisan Maru was sunk in the Bashi Straits, South China Sea, Latitude 20 o 46' N, Longitude 118 o 18' E, on October 24, 1944 at about 5:00 PM." Source: THE ARISAN MARU TRAGEDY by William Bowen
