About this work

Description

Cariacture entitled 'Kanjia Shuyosho Karanji 20.8.26' [Kanjia was probably a Japanese soldier in the camp. It is possible that Karanji was part of his name, but it could also be a mispelling of Kranji which was a suburb of Singapore and where the hospital was moved to at one point] by 'Stan'; cartoon of two stretcher bearers carrying Christmas dinner captioned 'Not one shall be left behind!' by Cecil Orr; hand drawn pencil cartoon of soldier pulling pin out of grenade saying to officer 'It's coming to bits sir!?' and another soldier running off in the distance, signed by [Hicki]; coloured pencil drawing of lake scene at dusk [possibly by Col. Middleton].
