Just reading Prisoners of the Japanese by Gavan Daws. Pretty detailed book on Allied pow's of the Japanese. Good in that it includes Commonwealth, British and American prisoners as one whole storyline rather than individual nations prisoners.

Guys from Uss Houston amongst them and then I found The Jacksboro Boys...and a great pic of them...131st Field Atrillery, 2nd battalion, F battery, pic of them setting up camp at the Louisiana manouvres. Some of their personel stories included.

Brings it home closer when reading now.
