From what I have read, many of the prisoners who used this technique actually learnt it at school; to create flyers, programmes for plays, or school newsletters etc. They later used their knowledge in captivity to make the maps, or taught others how to do it.

It is something I had never heard about until I read it. I'm thinking of doing it with my Year 9ers as part of a hands on activity to get them interested in POWs and their life in camps. Love your explanation and method of how it was done! Thanks a lot! Janelle Vasey. Hi Di,

Thanks for putting this together - could be an interesting school holiday activity for the kids. cheers leigh Hi Di,
