Collection relating to the Second World War service of Captain Harry Ernest Jessup, 1941-1945.
Wallet 1 of 2 contains Jessup's diary covering the period from the capitulation at Singapore, February 1942, until shortly after the Japanese surrender in 1945. Highly descriptive of life in Changi POW camp and in a working party on the Burma-Thailand railway. Occasionally humorous and philosophical, the author mentions food and recipes, illness, forced marches in Thailand, deaths from cholera, work on the railway, industries, entertainment and lectures in Changi, segregation of officers from other ranks, memories, mail, monotony, highs and lows of morale, air raids, good relations with Dutch internees, feelings about the end of the war and impatience about being repatriated to Australia. Diary also includes an anthology of poetry.
