Description
A song/sketch book, with dance steps, compiled by Sister Sylvia Muir, relating to her life as a prisoner of war of the Japanese in Palembang. Also a very worn anthology of English poetry, 'The Rainbow' (published in Holland in 1919), which was carried by Sylvia Muir throughout her internment. The frontispiece is inscribed: 'Sylvia J.M McGregor, Women's Internment Camp, Muntok, Banka Is. 1944'. The damaged spine of the anthology has been strengthened with coloured cotton cloth.
