Peter thanks for the photos, do you know in which town these were taken?

[Peter H]

KL I think (Kuala Lumpur).


This one is Singapore.

I'm curious to know who these people are,caption included.

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for posting these historic photos! I think the rally in Singapore was at the Padang most probably the students were on the Emperor's birthday parade.

Regards

More of Singapore I think.

Unloading---Singapore docks.
Note British & Australian POWs assisting.

Such work parties from Changi are mentioned in Australian accounts from 1942...a great chance for pilfering extra food as well.
