You're Top Poster: #3   | Japanese POW Camps
__________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #2 | I just came across this while, believe it or not, looking for a female Geologist (yes, I was working!). Turns out she has the same name as one of the contributors. http://www.mansell.com/pow_resources...ow%20camps.htm A bit beyond me and no time to follow the links at the moment, but looks to be a lot of info...with some names.

You're Top Poster: #13  | Checked this site out and it seems to have some good research material for those interested in Japanese Prisoner of war camps. Very useful. Sniper
