Two of the pens used in the surrender were given to Lt. Gen. Percival, who had surrendered at Singapore to General Yamashita in 1942 and spent the next few years in a POW camp. Prior to the signing of the Japanese surrender he was brought to the USS Missouri on the express orders of the US CIC Douglas McArthur to witness the signing of the Japanese surrender - and then presented with two of the pens. Percival can be seen standing behind McArthur apparently holding one of them in his hand. This pen (or perhaps the other) is now on public display at the Chester Military Museum: http://www.chesterwiki.com/Military_Museum
