In July 1942, 1,494 Australian prisoners of war were sent to Sandakan in British North Borneo to construct an aerodrome — they were joined by a further 500 in June 1943. Soon after all the officers but a few were removed to a POW Internment Compound in Kuching where they remained, with minimal losses, for the duration.
