Prisoners crouch behind barbed wire under the palms

Behind several strands of barbed wire, a crowd of men in field caps and worn clothing squats on bare earth among the grey trunks of a coconut plantation; some look towards the camera, and a figure in a helmet stands upright among them. The source describes Japanese prisoners and dead on Guadalcanal. Few Japanese soldiers were taken alive on the island; many of the prisoners there were labourers of the construction units.
