Drawing by a FEPOW: The Dysentry Hut

Sketch of Dysentery hut at Kranji POW camp Singapore. This drawing was made in 1945 by W.G Norways. FEPOW were underfed and malnourished, and very susceptible to illness and disease in the camps. There was very little medicine available to help treat those who fell ill.
