Video description

Filmed by Allan Anderson whilst himself a prisoner of war in the Changi prison camp, Singapore, this amateur film shows the type of dwellings in which POW were housed; cooking and washing facilities, and the condition of the troops generally after their long period as prisoners. The cheerful spirit on the part of these prisoners is also illustrated in the film.
