Sandakan Death Marches Sandakan Death Marches Handout to accompany Prezi presentation: Canadian Hong Kong Veterans and Allied POWs in the Asia-Pacific War: Wounds and Closure Overview Sandakan, a city on the northeast coast of the island of Borneo, was the site of the Sandakan POW Camp between 1942 and 1945 that held more than 2,400 Australian and British POWs. The POWs at Sandakan were brought there from the Changi POW Camp (Singapore) to construct a military airfield. At first, conditions at Sandakan POW Camp were decent, with adequate food and reasonable care. But from 1943, a change of guards at the camp and escape attempts by the POWs led to tighter camp security, increased violence against POWs, prolonged work hours and decreased food rations. Fearing that the Allies would invaded Sandakan, so from early 1945, the POWs were divided into groups that left the camp progressively from late January until mid-June to march to Ranau, 260 kilometers away on the northwest coast of Borneo. These marches have come to be known as the “Sandakan Death Marches” due to the high death rates along the way. Those who couldn’t keep up due to illness or weakness were killed immediately and the marches continued on. At Ranau, POWs were kept in horrid conditions with hardly any food and forced do perform hard labor. Diseases such as dysentery had become endemic. The few POWs who were still alive at Ranau at the end of August were killed by August 27th. Back in Sandakan, those who stayed behind faced severe malnutrition and rampant diseases. All of the remaining POWs in Sandakan POW camp were massacred by August 15th. The only survivors of the Sandakan POW Camp and the Sandakan Death Marches were 6 POWs who had managed to successfully escape.

Taken from the book “Hidden Horrors: Japanese War Crimes in World War II” by Yuki Tanaka, p. 36 Forty days. The first seven days got no food. No water for the first three days. And then they forced you to drink until you were sick on the third night […] Every evening you would get a bashing. Hit with sticks and fists and kicking […] Not allowed to talk, we used to whisper. We had to kneel down all day, there wasn’t room to lay down at night, we’d all lay side-by-side, squashed up, and had to sit up again at dawn and kneel up—kneel down. Excerpt from testimony of former Australian POW Keith Botterill about the Sandakan Death March Retrieved from http://www.dva.gov.au/aboutDVA/publications/commemorative/sandakan/Documents/sandakan _book.pdf (p. 28) I’ve seen men shot and bayoneted to death because they could not keep up with the party. We climbed this mountain about 30 miles out from Ranau, and we lost five men on that mountain in half a day. They shot five of them because they couldn’t continue. But I just kept plodding along. It was a dense jungle, I was heartbroken; but I thought there was safety in numbers. I just kept going. Excerpt from testimony of former Australian POW Dick Moxham about the last leg of his journey to Ranau Retrieved from http://www.dva.gov.au/aboutDVA/publications/commemorative/sandakan/Documents/sandakan _book.pdf (p. 30) One man was puffed up with beriberi in the legs and face, and was getting along all right on his own and could have made it; but the Japs would not let him alone, but tried to force him along, and eventually he collapsed. They kicked him on the ground. The Jap turned and saw the man had gone down, and he struck him over the head with his rifle butt. The soldier was left there. The party marched on.

Only six survived this ordeal out of over 2400 POWs at the Sandakan POW Camp This cemetery contained the graves of most of those POWs whose bodies were recovered from the cemeteries and other burial sites in and around the Sandakan POW Camp. It was formed on the site of the Sandakan military airstrip that had been constructed between 1942 and 1944 by the POWs.

  • The Treatment of Prisoners of War by the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy Focusing on the Pacific War
    The Treatment of Prisoners of War by the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy Focusing on the Pacific War TACHIKAWA Kyoichi Abstract Why does the inhumane treatment of prisoners of war occur? What are the fundamental causes of this problem? In this article, the author looks at the principal examples of abuse inflicted on European and American prisoners by military and civilian personnel of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy during the Pacific War to analyze the causes of abusive treatment of prisoners of war. In doing so, the author does not stop at simply attributing the causes to the perpetrators or to the prevailing condi- tions at the time, such as Japan’s deteriorating position in the war, but delves deeper into the issue of the abuse of prisoners of war as what he sees as a pathology that can occur at any time in military organizations. With this understanding, he attempts to examine the phenomenon from organizational and systemic viewpoints as well as from psychological and leadership perspectives. Introduction With the establishment of the Law Concerning the Treatment of Prisoners in the Event of Military Attacks or Imminent Ones (Law No. 117, 2004) on June 14, 2004, somewhat stringent procedures were finally established in Japan for the humane treatment of prisoners of war in the context of a system infrastructure. Yet a look at the world today shows that abusive treatment of prisoners of war persists. Indeed, the heinous abuse which took place at the former Abu Ghraib prison during the Iraq War is still fresh in our memories.

Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

It looks at the co-operation between Special Operations Australia, Special Operations Executive of Britain and the US Officeof Strategic Services and their actions with and against each other during the Pacific War. Based on hithertounused archival sources, it argues that the cancellation of 'Kingfisher' - and the failure to rescue the Sandakan prisoners - can be explained by the motivations, decisions and actions of particular British officers in the interplay of the wartime alliance. The politics of wartime alliances played out at both the level of grand strategy but also in interaction between officers within the planning headquarters in the Southwest Pacific Area, with severe implications for those most directly affected.
