About This Item

Combe Publishing, 2004. First edition. Paperback. Near Fine. A non nonsense account of the experience of a young British lad, from a family settled in Singapore, who joined the Singapore Volunteer Corps shortly before the Japanese invasion and then spent the rest of the war as a prisoner under the Japanese. The account is unusual because it is not over dramatised and is from someone who was brought up in the country and so was more familiar with his surroundings than most of his fellow captives. 182 pages including an appendix listing his fellow prisoners who left for Thailand in October 1942. Near Fine Paperback. First Edition. Weight 0.5kg. Post free within Malaysia The book looks new apart from some scuffing on the text block.

About The Penang Bookshelf

The Penang Bookshelf was set up in mid 2010 principally to introduce Malaysian residents to the variety of books there is available about the country both past and present. We only stock fiction and non-fiction related to Malaysia and the rest of Asia. Much of our current stock of over a thousand different titles is not available in Malaysia. Conversely much of our stock published in Malaysia is difficult to find outside the country. So if there\'s something Malaysia related that you\'re looking for, do please contact us and we\'ll do our best to help. At present details of most of our stock is not on line; we hope it will be eventually!
