Borneo POW Story
Proudly presented by the Borneo POW Relatives Association of Western Australia Inc
Within this site we have brought together many stories, articles, drawings, photographs and memorabilia that tell of the horrors during World War Two where over 3000 Allied Servicemen died as Prisoners of War at Borneo under such atrocious and barbaric conditions. The shocking events that occurred at Sandakan, on the Ranau Death Marches and at Kuching, Jesselton and other locations will never be fully told or understood. We dedicate this site to these brave men and to the many people of Borneo who tried to assist in so many ways. These events happened over sixty years ago but the story must continue to be told. We also do hope that the details and stories within does assist to ensure that others will never suffer the same fate as these POW Servicemen. God Rest Their Souls!

Fr Cowin was a POW himself and the Church now contains three Memorial Books which contain the names of those who died. The project is part of a registered charity. The Original names theyre included from an appeal in the press but in 1949 Ecumenism was not as it is today an may have resulted in the project being "jealously guarded". The organisers wish to acknowledge civilians who died in Japanese Camps or have died since and will start extra Books as necessary.
