This photo was taken by Private George Aspinall in the year of 1943 at the Songkurai also known as The Burma-Thai Railway Camp which is located in Thailand. It is a photo of three Australian POWs or Prisoners of War outside the hospital of the camp and the three men are Bruce Pearce (on the right), Oscar Jackson (in the middle) and the man on the left is unidentified. It was taken after the British and Australians were captured and imprisoned by the Japanese forces after The Fall of Singapore on the 15th February 1942.
