A large amount of information regarding the fate of Australian and British prisoners sent to, or destined for, the Sandakan POW Camp, has been collated. Original death records, compiled at the time by Allied camp staff and handed to the Japanese POW Administration, were recovered post-war. An exact copy of this information is available from Lynette Silver in quasi-certificate form for Australians who died at Sandakan, on the death marches or at Ranau, along with details of initial burial, reburial, place of commemoration and any other details. Similar information is available for British prisoners.  As this is a special service for POW families, there is a nominal charge to cover the cost of extracting and collating the material and postage.

Information for those who died at Jesselton, Labuan, Brunei, Kuala Belait, Miri or Singapore's Outram Road Gaol varies. In some cases, a full statement of death is available.

This information is available in a format as close to the original as possible. Each certificate is compiled on an individual basis and includes all data on the prisoner that has been found to date.

To request more information please email Lynette and supply the following details:- The full name of the POW, the country of enlistment ie were they enlisted by England or Australia, if they were army, airforce or navy and the unit they were part of, if known.
