It is the product of many years of detailed historical research, interviews with camp survivors and personal experiences discovering and locating the former Japanese civilian prison camp sites of Bangka Island and Southern Sumatra.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJudy's aim has been to compile an accurate description of the fate of evacuees from Singapore who were bombed and killed in the South China Sea and Bangka Strait or imprisoned in harsh Japanese civilian prison camps. Many families have not known the fate of their relatives until contacting the author through the Muntok Peace Museum website. The Peace Museum was established by prisoners' families in 2015. The author has also described her many visits to Bangka Island and Sumatra in detail so others may follow in her footsteps and know that their relatives who were imprisoned and died during WW2 are now remembered very respectfully in the small town of Muntok. Annual Memorial Services are held each February 16, attended by families and the Australian, New Zealand and British Embassies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll royalties to this book will be donated to the Muntok Red Cross in memory of the prisoners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399067157\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 6.41731 inches, Length: 9.48817 inches, Weight: 1.41536772204 pounds, Width: 0.86614 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Judy Balcombe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51864383619379,"sku":"9781399067157","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/3039633482686.jpg?v=1754225660","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-evacuation-of-singapore-to-the","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
