	Sandakan Death Marches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Meanwhile, at the Sandakan camp, some 885 POWs died of hunger and illness between February and May. A second wave of forced marches to Ranau began on May 29, when the camp was closed and destroyed by the Japanese.
		The Sandakan Death Marches have been dramatised in the 2004 play Sandakan Threnody — a threnody being a hymn of mourning, composed as a memorial to a dead person.

	Intersections: Review: Sandakan Brothel No. 8: An Episode in the History of Lower-Class Japanese Women
		Singapore and Sandakan were depicted in Japanese newspapers and naval dispatches as a congestion of brothels and rooming houses, of marked doorways to a labyrinth where opium smoking, lascivious Chinamen lay with Japanese prostitutes.
		When Yamazaki subsequently visited Sandakan in the mid-1970s she found much to her disappointment, that all tell-tale signs of Brothel No. 8 of the early 1920s had vanished, having been swallowed up in the post-war urban sprawl of the small go-ahead port-city.
		Sandakan Brothel No. 8 is also partly a historical commentary about the meaning of old age and class in Japan 'today'; and, epitomised by Osaki, it is about how lower-class Japanese women found meaning in their present-day lives, and how they quietly built on their past lives overseas in finding that meaning.

	Settled at Sandakan
		The colonial community at Sandakan to which David Baldwin belonged, and which his wife was about to join, is well documented by an American author, Agnes Keith.

	FABULOUS REVIEW: SANDAKAN THRENODY by TheatreWorks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The feelings of loss and tragedy that the music embodies are given striking physical form in various largely stand-alone vignettes that are heavy on visuality and movement.
		If Sandakan Thredony can spread the message of the enormous hardship and suffering of both Australian and British soldiers in the Pacific War during WWII, then my contribution to this cause is not in vain.
		I write this response, because whilst not having seen the production and the way in which my interview is portrayed, I am somewhat concerned at the interpretation provided by Dorothy Chansky in her June review of the Singapore Arts Festival.
