“In January, 1943, four of the internees who had spent the first 8 months of the war in the provencial jail, came back to the Camp.\u00a0 Four scarecrows they were, weak and emaciated — Walter Saul, Max Iller, Richard J. (Jimmy) Redfern, and R. W. (Reg) Verney.\u00a0 Another prisoner, Dr. Gilbert K. Cullen, was also released from jail but was so weak physically that he had to be hospitalized for the duration of the time he spent on Iloilo.”\u00a0 — F. H. Stevens, STIC, page 301<\/p>\n
