Chair made by prisoner-of-war, 1942-45

This metal chair was made by unknown Allied Prisoner-of-War working on the Burma to Thailand railway sometime during their incarceration by Japanese military forces between 1942-45. This example is one of two similar crafted metal chairs which were recovered together by an Australian officer who was part of the occupation forces which entered this region at the end of World War II.
