Keeping Busy was Very Important to Morale ...

The prisoners did many things to keep their minds active.

This  lamp was constructed for my Dad by someone whose name I don't know. It is a tobacco barrel with the badges of many of the units who fought in the Battle of Hong Kong. Note the bullet which, I believe, is Japanese. Unfortunately some of the badges have gone missing over the  years.
The prisoners also drew images of the captors. The pencil drawing on the right is of a particularly nasty guy, Katyama "affectionately" known as Deadly Nightshade.
