520    The diary of the inhabitant of a notorious POW camp 
       reveals shocking breaches of the Geneva convention while 
       highlighting the incredible ingenuity and resourcefulness 
       of Allied soldiers Major Vic Ebbage was a Colonel with the
       Royal Army Ordnance Corps, serving in Hong Kong in 1941, 
       when his garrison was attacked by the Japanese Army. He 
       was captured and taken prisoner to the notorious Hong Kong
       death camp, Shamshuipo, where he was held from December 30,
       1941 to August 1945. His story is an extraordinary one of 
       survival against all the odds, as well as a story of how a
       group of men worked together to improve conditions in the 
       camp for their fellow prisoners. They were offered nothing
       by their captors but the constant command to "improvise," 
       which they learned to do by recycling salvaged materials 
       into everything from homemade nails, cooking pots, and 
       plates, to surgical instruments, beds, and nesting boxes. 
       His diary demonstrates how individuals can work together 
       in an almost unimaginable adversity to improve life for 
       their fellow people, and how imagination and innovation 
       can flourish in even the worst conditions. This story is a
       model of care, humanity, and inventiveness.
