JAPANESE PRISONERS BEFORE OPENING OF SINGAPORE WAR CRIMES TRIALS

This film is held by the Imperial War Museum (ID: JFU 454).

Synopsis

Japanese prisoners accused of war crimes are held in cells before the opening of the Singapore war crimes trials.

Very dark and unclear footage of Japanese soldiers being put into their cells. A guard unlocks a cell. A British sergeant leaves a cell followed by a (medical?) officer who has parachute wings on his uniform.

Notes

Very dark throughout and unusable. For more useful footage, see related items, which show the court proceedings against these men.

Guards apparently from B and C Companies, 1st Battalion Hampshire Regiment.
