Ueno Tamotsu, an officer with the 5th Volunteers, says that he was almost thrown overboard during the voyage back to Taiwan at the end of the war. Years later, his son suggested that he visit Taiwan again, but Ueno always demurred, fearing retribution from former Takasago Volunteers.
另一位第五回警官上野保也提到，在戰後自南洋撤回台灣的船上，他差點被丟進大海，戰後兒子們建議他去台灣旅行，但他遲遲不敢，深怕遭到義勇隊隊員的報復。
