Caption: October 24, 1945. Sandakan prisoner of war camp, Sandakan, North Borneo. A few months after it was vacated and demolished by retreating Japanese troops, little remains of the burnt-out camp. In an area of No. 1 compound (pictured) the bodies of 300 prisoners of war were discovered. They were believed to have been those men left in the camp after the Sandakan death marches to Ranau. Each grave contained several bodies, in some cases as many as 10. Australian and British personnel were murdered and buried here.
