ABSTRACT
Life at Changi became more complicated and appreciably harder during this period. While the previous chapter discussed some of the events that shaped the POW community, this chapter will attempt to take a look at what constituted the Changi POW camp during this time. It will explore whether those held there still believed it to be a ‘unique’ institution, as they had in the early months, and what impact, if any, these considerations had on POW behaviour. This chapter will also examine how those who were introduced to Changi for the first time during these months perceived it.
