#######################################
Cliff Woskett and his RAF comrades in
the South East Asia Air Force had
already used up their two bottles of
beer a month ration when the war ended.
He remembers going to an Indian bazaar,
rejecting the Medical Officer's advice
to avoid local spirits, and buying
several bottles of "rotgut".
PoW Geoff Threadgold has less pleasant
memories. He was moved to Kuching camp
in Borneo from Sandakan.
By the end of the war there were only
six survivors out of 2,400 inmates at
the Sandakan prison camp.
