Jungle Journal: Prisoners Of The Japanese In Java 1942 - 1945

This is the story of a young Royal Artillery officer, Lieutenant Ronald Williams, who was held as a prisoner of war in the Japanese-occupied Dutch East Indies from 1942–45. It is a true account of the horror, banality of daily life, and the humor that helped the men survive. Told through diaries and papers, it includes cartoons, poems, and extracts from the original Jungle Journal, a newspaper created by the prisoners. This book describes the survival of hope and is a testament to their courage and fortitude.
