Description
'Cottage industry' anti-tank gun made in local garage. A Prisoner of War Camp was constructed in 1941-1942 in the outskirts of Cowra, to house Italian
POWs captured by Allied Forces. The camp later also held Japanese prisoners, Koreans who had served in the Japanese military, and Indonesian civilians detained at the request of the Dutch East Indies government.
