THE WORLD FAMOUS HISTORY AND PAST EVENTS

A group of Australian War Correspondents visited a PoW camp and found shocking conditions of cruelty.  The camp was about fifteen miles out of Yokosuka Naval Base, and the Corespondents were the first to find the POWs. The camp was not registered (with the International Red Cross) and all the 103 occupants, comprising ninety eight Americans, four British and one New Zealander, were reported dead some time ago.  The men had been cruelly beaten and maltreated, but for the past week or two they had better treatment and were given a chance to pick up. American planes had dropped comforts and clothing to them. The Japanese guards who had beaten the men were taken from the camp and replaced by others a week before the occupation.  Almost every day "Bimbo" beatings were administered. Here Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Harold Newman RN of Carshalton, Surrey, England, assumes the position only too well as the "Afuna crouch". He is demonstrating to the Australian officers, the cr...

Soldier’s unearthed diary provides insight into graves recovery work.  A Great War soldier’s 100-year-old diary was recently discovered amongst a jumble of records in a Brisbane store. And thanks to the efforts of State Library of Queensland volunteers, it has been transcribed.  The transcription provides a remarkable insight into Claude Fraser’s work with the Australian Graves Detachment.  When 18-year-old Claude reached France in 1918, the war had ended.  Rather than return home, Claude volunteered to help recover and identify some of the 46,000 Australians who had died on the Western Front.  The graves recovery work began in April 1919, when Claude and 1,000 comrades started searching for bodies in the battlefields surrounding Villers-Bretonneux. An early diary entry reads: ‘Commenced work at 8.30am. Seven bodies in one shell hole, bodies hardly decomposed.’  The exhumed remains were wrapped in hessian, stacked on a wagon, and transported to a cemetery f...

AITAPE AREA, NORTH EAST NEW GUINEA. C. 1944-04. NAKED JAPANESE PRISONERS OF WAR (POWS) CROUCH Aitape area, north east new guinea. c. 1944-04. naked japanese prisoners of war (pows) crouch together on the ground while awaiting transport after being captured by us invasion forces following the successful allied landing. The japanese were probably stripped because of their habit of concealing weapons and grenades. Working on Japanese POWs today. This is not an attack on America, it is just to point out how hard it was to get the Americans to take prisoners after the Japanese faked their surrender many times and killed American troops. Some comments I am adding: Sometimes the Japanese forced the civilians to act against the Americans, or possibly, some acted on their own volition out of some strange loyalty to an Emperor who always treated them as second-class citizens. One example is found in the diary of an American Army engineer. He says that on 26 July 1945, two women emerged from a Ja...

A group of naked Soviet POWs, who in the fall of 1944 were sent back to the Mauthausen main camp from the satellite camp of Melk, stand in line during a roll call. Administrative Notes BiographyMauthausen concentration camp photographers Antonio Garcia (or Antonio Garcia Alonso) and Francisco Boix (or Francesc Boix Campo) were among thousands of Spanish Republicans who were imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. Following their defeat in the Spanish Civil War, Spanish Republicans fled to France where they were interned. After Germany's invasion of France, some 30,000 of these were deported to concentration camps in Germany and Austria for their Communist political affiliation. Approximately 8,000 were sent to Mauthausen. Though most of these prisoners were sent to work in the quarries, some were given administrative jobs. Among the later group were Antonio Garcia and Francisco Boix. Boix was sent to Mauthausen on January 27, 1941. Because of his facility...

Chetnik war crimes in World War II The Chetniks, a Yugoslav royalist and Serbian nationalist movement and guerrilla force, committed numerous war crimes during the Second World War, primarily directed against the non-Serb population of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, mainly Muslims and Croats, and against Communist-led Yugoslav Partisans and their supporters. Most historians who have considered the question regard the Chetnik crimes against Muslims and Croats during this period as constituting genocide. The Chetnik movement drew its members from the interwar Chetnik Association and various Serb nationalist groups. Some Chetnik ideologues were inspired by the Stevan Moljević's Homogeneous Serbia memorandum in July 1941, that defined the borders of an ethnically pure Greater Serbia. A similar document was put forward to the Yugoslav government-in-exile in September 1941. The Yugoslav government embraced t...

Recovering Gallipoli’s Missing Soldiers In November 1918, Lieutenant Cyril Hughes and his graves registration section landed on Gallipoli on a bleak day that winter storms punished the rugged terrain. Hughes was confronted with a landscape of broken trenches, and rusted barbed wire. He could see the bones of hastily buried soldiers from a mile away as broad white streaks down the ravines. Hughes’ section joined the British Graves Registration Unit, which would find, identify, record, and temporarily protect every British and dominion grave, and bury any unburied dead. Hughes had a strong connection to Gallipoli, landing there in May 1915. He was twice wounded before being evacuated. Hughes regretted abandoning his comrades’ graves: ‘In 1915 we did not quite finish our job,’ he explained, ‘but, by Heaven, we would see it out this time.’ An immense task confronted Hughes’ section. Of 12,000 Allied soldiers who had died in the Anzac sector, nearly 6,000 were unburied, their remains scatte...
