Forgive me for asking but were there any reported cases of British or American barbarities? I have read a couple of what I took to be fairly isolated revenge attacks but I suppose in reality .....

I would say there would have been however few and far between. Revenge may have taken over in some. Australians and Americans in New Guinea were known to kill the Japanese twice as they many times pretended to be dead then threw grenades or shot troops when they checked the dead. They did not want to be POW's so their request was often obliged.
