Food was plentiful by European standards. Work was limited and tolerable. Very few Japanese prisoners were taken
Prisoners were generally given two meals a day - thin soup and black bread. Needless to say hunger was a feature of most prisoners' lives. All prisoners looked forward to deliveries of Red Cross
food parcels which contained 'luxury' items such as butter, biscuits, chocolate and condensed milk as well as dried fruits and vegetables. Prisoners often improvised their own brick stoves and cooked their food in empty milk tins.

(
calling out a list of names to establish who is present).
Some men would be put to work either around the camp or in the locality. A range of sports were played when the weather was fine and in the evenings there were sometimes concerts. However, for most, the overriding features of life in a prisoner of war camp were boredom, hunger and dreams of a better life once the war was over.
