Report of Conditions of PoW’s in Thailand

May to December 1943

By Col. Dillon

A Representative of the I.J.A. Military Police has requested a frank report on the recent conditions of  Ps. O.W. in Thailand, with suggestions for the improvement of conditions for Ps. O.W. generally.

Accordingly, this report is made in two parts:-

  1. Facts
  2. Suggestions

Part 1 is neither a complaint nor a protest, but a statement of facts, all of which can be substantiated by Officers who were present.

The suggestions in Part 2 are made in the hope that the conditions of Ps. O.W. will improve in the future, since it is our firm belief that the recent experiences have not been in accordance with the policy or intentions of the Imperial Japanese Government in Tokyo, or of the Japanese Red Cross, who cannot ne aware of the actual state of affairs in Thailand.

          Part 1 Part 1- Facts

          Part 2 Part 2 - Suggestions

 

Sharing information with others is rewarding in itself, the pieces from the jigsaw begin to fit together and a picture begins to appear. Improve your knowledge and help make the Fepow Story an everlasting memorial to their memory.
