Waiting home after their libertaion from Changi.

Waiting home after their libertaion from Changi. Writing home and knowing that your letter would reach there, is quite a change for these boys, who were prisoners of War in the camp in Siangapore named Changi. The men are well supplied with cigarettes now, but until the Japanese capitulation the only cigarettes available to prisoners was a weeg growing wild, dried, chopped up and hammered to a small grain, newspaper being used for cigarette papers.
