Description
KUCHING, SARAWAK, BORNEO. 1945-09-14. KUCHING FORCE. LINTANG PRISONER OF WAR BARRACKS. INTERIOR OF ONE OF THE AUSTRALIAN OFFICERS' HUTS IN THE CAMP. WHEN OCCUPIED THE PRISONERS WOULD HAVE BEEN CRAMMED INTO MANY TIERED BUNKS. OLD CLOTHING, EMPTY CANS AND RECENT NEWSPAPERS ARE STREWN EVERYWHERE. IT APPEARS THAT THE FORMER OCCUPANTS WASTED NO TIME IN VACATING THE HUT WHEN ALLIED RECOVERY TEAMS ARRIVED.
