Description
BEAUFORT, NORTH WEST BORNEO 1945-09-18. 24TH BRIGADE. A RECENTLY SURRENDERED JAPANESE PRISONER OF WAR COLLAPSED DURING TRANSFER TO THE PRISONER OF WAR COMPOUND. HE REVIVED SUFFICIENTLY TO TAKE HIS PLACE AT THE END OF THE COLUMN AS IT WAITED TO MOVE OFF. THE PRISONER, STILL KNEELING, APPEARS TO BE THE ONLY ONE CARRYING A FULL PACK. THE PHOTOGRAPHER RECORDED THE OBJECTIONS RAISED TO SOME OF THIS SERIES BY 24TH BRIGADE COMMAND. IT WAS FELT THEY SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED ON THE GROUNDS THAT THEY DEPICTED PRISONERS BEING ILL TREATED. (PHOTOGRAPHER L. CPL WALLIS)
