About this work
Description
Non-medical material collected and kept by Simpson during his time as a POW in the Far East:
Receipt for a watch and a fountain pen belonging to Simpson, and held by the Japanese authorities.
Programme for a play called Live, Love and Laugh, a musical comedy written and performed by POWs. Includes hand-drawn cover.
Programme for the 4th performance of The Baldheads, a cabaret act put on by POWs, 15-17 June 1942, and probably staged at Tjimahi POW Camp.
Three coloured pencil drawings by an unknown artist. Two are labelled Tamoean 44, (probably Tamuang camp, Thailand) and one Bunschosho 7-44, so were presumably drawn in 1944 at these places. The third drawing includes the words "Spreekkamer en Apotheek", which translates from the Dutch as "Consultation room and Pharmacy"
scraps of paper containing contact details of Simpson's fellow POWs
