From 1942 to 1945, some 22 000 Australian service personnel, including 71 women of the Australian Army Nursing Service, became prisoners of war of the Japanese. They were held in camps in Timor, Java, Sumatra, New Guinea, Ambon, Hainan, Borneo, Singapore, Malaya, Thailand, Burma, Manchuria, Formosa and Japan.

Only 1400 survived those three and half years. Hank Nelson undertook hundreds of hours of interviews with ex-prisoners.
