[Prisoners of War]. YOUNG, Bill, JR BRAITHWAITE, HWS JACKSON, and Keith BOTTERILL J R H W S
Long Ago in Borneo
Tasmania: Bill Young 1990. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Tasmania Bill Young circa 1990s. Octavo iv 43 pages with a plan and several illustrations two in colour. Pictorial wrappers lightly rubbed and marked; a very good copy. A self-published compilation of first-hand accounts of the Sandakan Death Marches in Borneo during the Second World War. Of some 2500 Allied prisoners only six survived. The contents are 'Death March from Sandakan' by J.R. Braithwaite; 'A Report on the Borneo Death Marches' by Lieutenant Colonel H.W.S. Jackson; 'The Witness of One of the Six Survivors' by Keith Botterill; and 'B. Force to Borneo' by Bill Young who also contributed the illustrations and verse. The first three contributions seem to have been recorded soon after the events they describe. <p>Bill Young appears to have produced several versions of this work and to have printed them on a home printer. We have handled another example with the same contents entitled 'From Sandakan to Ranau 1945: A Story of Tragedy'. Bill Young paperback

[Prisoners of War]
P.O.W. The Monthly Newsletter of the Australian Prisoners of War Relatives Association. Number 37 15 February 1945 to Number 41 15 June 1945
Sydney: The Association 1945. Fair. Sydney The Association 1945. Large quarto five issues with each one comprising 16 pages with numerous illustrations from photographs of Australian prisoners of war. Newsprint tanned and a little brittle with minor marginal blemishes; two staples later put through the inner margins with the last two numbers stapled together with the last leaf of the last issue bound in at the end of the second-last one; overall in decent condition. While the general tone of these very informative newsletters is upbeat there is a distinct air of anxiety with published letters from POWs some four to five months behind current events. The 'Enquiries' page containing numerous small personal classified requests for information still hits hard: 'Any repatriated or rescued prisoner of war or any other person who may know anything regarding undermentioned prisoners of war is kindly requested to communicate with the relative enquiring'. 5 items. The Association unknown
