'Jungle Journals' from Japan's PoW inmates

[Still Waters]

Secret magazines written by British soldiers held in a Japanese prisoner of war camp have been discovered after more then 60 years hidden in an attic.

The 'Jungle Journals' were produced by inmates to lift fellow soldiers’ morale as they struggled to survive the horrific conditions in the labour camps during the Second World War.

Anyone caught reading them faced severe punishments from the prison guards on the island of Java in the Dutch East Indies.
