Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia).

  • The Ss North Coaster, One of Three
    CHAPTER 10 The s.s. North Coaster, one of three “B” Type coasters owned and operated by Clarke THE QUEBEC NORTH SHORE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND CHARTERING The 1950s would see an economic boom along the Quebec North Shore, and the fleet serving this coast now consisted of the North Shore, North Pioneer and North Coaster, and the North Gaspé by winter. Clarke was well placed to take part in this growth. Equally, with Newfoundland having become part of Canada in 1949, the Gulfport and Novaport formed the core of the company's service to Canada's tenth province. But Clarke ships alone would not be able to satisfy the demand. Clarke ships had always carried both passengers and cargo, but the latter was now becoming increasingly more important. In addition to general cargo, project cargo would flow to the mining and power developments springing up in Quebec and Labrador and consumer traffic would grow to Newfoundland, while backhaul cargoes would be loaded for delivery to Port Alfred, Quebec, Trois Rivières and Montreal. To serve these markets, more ships would soon have to be chartered in to supplement the core fleet. While the late 1940s had often seen Clarke chartering its ships to others, the 1950s would turn out to be Clarke's biggest period by far for chartering ships from other owners. From early days the company had been active in chartering vessels as required for its various scheduled and non- scheduled services. These ships were normally paid for on the basis of a negotiated amount of charter hire per day, called time charter, although there were occasions when the company would engage ships for a lump sum for delivery of a certain cargo on a voyage charter.
