lowed, we internees thought we suffered the tortures of hell. But since then I have heard tales of war prisoners and internees in other | places and I am thinking that perhaps we in south Sumatra experienced only some of the lighter phases of purgatory. ” n » 7 UNDERSTAND that some other camps were wiped out. In our camp deaths from starvation, malaria, dysentery and beri-beri accounted for 55 per cent of the British and Australian men, 30 per cent of the Dutch men, 30 per cent of the British women and 20 per cent of the Dutch women. A comparative handful were executed or tortured to death. Of the survivors not more than half were walking skeletons. About a quarter of them cast respectable shadows. Some were even fat, thanks to food filching, racketeering or black marketing.

n # » I HAVE no atrocities to relate inside the camp (they occurred outside) unless Japanese utter neglect and indifference and allowing us to starve in a land of comparative plenty can be called an atrocity. When I see hunger-stunted e¢hildren from those camps, I believe it could. When the Japanese occupied steaming south Sumatra in February and March of 1942, Dutch, British, Australians, Dutch Eurasians from all walks of life—government. servants, oil executives, engineers, miners, businessmen, planters as well as derelicts and beachcombers—were jampacked into jail cells in bamboo barracks. Each man was allotted two feet by six feet of living space. Gradually deaths from starvation and disease enlarged these spaces. Otherwise our quarters were not improved throughout the war, » » r MEN AND WOMEN were interned separately. No communication or contact between husbands

Smugglers Fed Yanks in Jap Prison Camp

fate, perhaps a refined form of mental torture. By the end of the war, it was estimated that there were nearly 16,000 prisoners of the Japanese in Sumatra, According to native officials connected with the Japanese military police, known as “Kempei” we were released just in time to prevent our certain deaths, »

» Ld THEY SAID that in event the allies invaded Sumafra and Java, which then. seeméd imminent, the Japanese planned to execute all Dutch government officials as well as others who might become fifth columnists. The remainder of the prisoners and internees were to suffer severe

ration cuts which would kill them ofl\ in a short time. . The Palembang police commissioner found a list of 150 Dutch government officials of south Sumatra scheduled for execution. The commissioner’s own name wis on the list. We felt our luck stayed with us, in that the war ended when it did.
