In the Second World War large numbers of Australian servicemen and women were made prisoners of war. Many were captured in the campaigns of 1941 and 1942 in North Africa, Greece and Crete, fighting against the Germans and Italians. Flying on operations, mainly from Britain, significant numbers of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) aircrew were forced to bail out over enemy territory and spend the rest of the war in prison camps in Germany. However, it is the story of the thousands of Australian prisoners of the Japanese that has made the deepest and most lasting impression on the average Australian. The suffering and death of Australians between 1942 and 1945, in dozens of prison camps and enforced labour locations in Asia, is often seen as the archetypal experience of Australian prisoners of war in this century.

After downloading the high resolution TIFF image from the Library of Congress I was able to zoom in on all the interesting things hanging on the wall. One poster shows Captain Arthur W. Wermuth the "One Man Army" in the Philippines. This web site has a good account of his actions. www.homeofheroes.com/footnotes/2007/01January2-wermuth.html
