Don Wall chronicles the story of the 2\/10 Battalion A.I.F., the Australian soldiers who surrendered to Japanese forces and were subsequently dispersed as prisoners of war across occupied Asia, enduring unimaginable hardship with remarkable resilience. Illustrated by Clem Seale, the narrative brings visceral life to the daily struggles of men stripped of their freedom yet not their spirit, tracing their harrowing journeys through labour camps, disease, and deprivation across the Pacific theatre.\n\nWall writes with the authority of lived experience and deep historical conscience, drawing on firsthand testimonies to construct a tribute that is as much a work of remembrance as it is a work of history. The book stands as a vital document of Australian military heritage, illuminating the courage and camaraderie that sustained men in conditions designed to break them. For those who seek to understand the true cost of war — not in grand strategy, but in human endurance — this account leaves one questioning just how much the human spirit can bear, and marvelling that it bore so much.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572364153051,"sku":"2026100011316-SECONDHAND","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7b5a020f-7722-4b0d-9563-de6bdd929457.png?v=1791166431","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011316-secondhand-singapore-and-beyond-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
