Second World War – 2nd Lt. Arkless Lockey, Prisoner of War of Japan. An emotive sketchbook compiled after being taken prisoner at the Fall of Singapore and subsequently held in the Prisoner of War camps Changi in Singapore, Heito in Taiwan and Tokyo Branch 2 and Zentsuji in Japan, circa 1942-1945. 33 detailed sketches, some covering two pages, plus 11 separate loose pictures, including portraits of other prisoners, album 20.5cm x 15cm. This is a rare album which was produced at great personal risk, given that prisoners were forbidden from creating any documentation and subject to severe punishment if found. Sketches comprising: scenes at Heito (titled 'Haito') - including P.O.W.s loading stones, exterior and interiors of Hut. No. 1 Officer's quarters, general camp views, soldiers exercising, straw rope and shoe making. Tokyo Branch 2 - the exterior and interior of the camp, 'Rice Fatigue' (prisoners hauling a cart). Prisoner of War transport ship - Singapore to Taiwan - 'P.O.W. class'. Changi - Royal Engineer's kitchen. Zentsuji - Room No. 3, Library, Corner of Galley, Birds-eye view of the camp. General untitled sketches include Japanese prison guards and locals riding a buffalo, soldiers overlooking a pigpen, caged areas, manual labour and a poignant black and white drawing of a 'Last Post' trumpeter on the final page. The portrait sketches are of fellow American and British prisoners at Zentsjuji, dated January 1944 and identified by name. Examples include 'Frank Burwell' (BURWELL, Frank H. Jnr., 1st Lt., Infantry, U.S.A.); 'Stan Gladys' (GLADYS, Stanley J., 1st Lt., U.S.A., QMC); 'John Fisher' (FISHER, John W., 1st Lt., U.S.A., Infantry); 'Jeff Caldicott' (CALDICOTT, G. H., Lt., Singapore); 'Jim' Leggatt' (LEGGETT, James L. Jnr., Lt., USAAC, Engineer); 'Padre Godfrey' (GODFREY, Rupert C. R., Chaplain, R.A., Java); 'Gill Warner' (possibly WARNER, William S., 1st Lt., USAAC) and 'Chris Power' (POWER, C., F/O., R.A.F. Ireland). Notes: Second Lieutenant Arkless Lockey [227089] Royal Engineers served with III Corps. At the time of his capture in the Fall of Singapore, he worked for the Deputy Assistant Director of Transportation. Based on the single sketch at Changi, he was likely held there briefly before he was transferred to Heito in August 1942, presumably as part of the large contingent of British and Allied P.O.W.s to arrive at Heito camp late that month. The main slave labour task in this camp was to pick rocks and stones from a vast area of an old dried river bottom near the camp to make the land ready to plant sugar cane. Camp Commandant, 1st Lieutenant Tamaki, was known for being sadistic and caring little for the welfare of the prisoners. He boasted of aiming to 'fill the cemetery', which he did (132 men died at Heito, the highest in-camp death rate for camps in Taiwan). 'Tokyo Branch 2' was a Dispatch Camp where the primary labour was shipyard construction. Based in Yokohama Baseball Stadium, it was renamed 'Tokyo Branch 3' on 1st August 1943. By that time, Lockey had likely transferred to Zentsuji camp in southern Japan, presumably until the end of hostilities. Despite being one of the few camps designed to hold prisoners (previously used in this capacity during the Russo-Japanese War in 1907 and the Sino-Japanese War in 1937) and used as a 'show' camp for propaganda purposes, conditions at Zentsjuji were still deplorable and overcrowded. Heckling and depriving prisoners of food or medicine was reportedly a regular occurrence at the camp, which also acted as the headquarters for several work camps in the area. Access to food ranged from fair during the early months of occupancy to starvation levels in July 1944. The rice served contained weevils and worms, and the rarely offered meat rations ranged from fresh to rotten. No hospital existed on the site, but a side room with six bunks was reserved for medical cases, though the unfortunate occupants would only receive half rations. The barracks consisted of two two-story buildings, both former warehouses, with half of one building dedicated to the guards. These were unheated after 1943 and poorly insulated. Each barracks was divided into rooms of 32 men, with four windows and only two light bulbs. These quarters were all infested with bed bugs, lice and fleas. Hot baths were available twice a month during winter, but only cold baths were permitted during the summer. It is a testament to the skills of the American officer working as the leading physician that he completed 24 serious operations without a single loss of a patient, with spinal novocaine being the only anaesthetic available. Clothing provisions were generally adequate, but more socks and gloves were always sought after, and the prisoners, in their malnourished states, could not keep warm despite being heavily clothed. Workdays primarily consisted of loading and unloading freight or cargo vessels, though some enlisted men were assigned to camp detail. Hours were long, often 6 am - 7 pm, with three 'rest days' per month, taken up by other enforced work around the camp. Unlike the enlisted men, officers received fewer rations but were not forced to work outside in the rain or snow. The camp was liberated on 12th September 1945, and Lockey was reported as no longer a prisoner of war by 26th September 1945. Arkless Lockey was born in 1901 in Durham. Post-war, he settled briefly in Malaya and Hong Kong with his wife, Marjory Tinto (b.1914), whilst working as a Railway Officer before returning to the U.K., where he died at 80.

FIRST WORLD WAR LETTERS. Woodall (Sir Ambrose Edgar, later Baron Uvedale of North End) (1885-1874). Surgeon, served with the Royal Army Medical Corps in the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front. Resident Surgeon at Manor House Hospital from 1920-58. A bound volume of around 300 letters covering the period 1st January 1917 - 31st December 1917, with a portrait of Woodall on the front leaf, to 'M, F and J' (Mother, Father and probably his brother, Samuel 'J' Woodall), mostly written in France. With seven further loose portrait photographs of Ambrose, a copy of Samuel James Woodall, 'Manor House Hospital' and photocopied research. The letters begin when Woodall is based at Haig Hutments in Crook, Fleet. His early letters document some elements of disdain his fellow doctors, 'Certainly this war is doing a lot of harm to our profession. It has gone to the heads of the younger men & GPs very badly. About one in twenty is fit for a position of any responsibility. The sooner it is concluded the better. Most of those who have been out to the front seem to regard it as a picnic on the other hand there are always a proportion of decent men - small perhaps but still there.' Other excerpts include: [21st January, No. 2 General Hospital, Quai De Escales, Le Havre] 'Am at present in a hut described as the 2nd Gen. Hospital where I may remain a day or weeks'. This proved to be prophetic, with the next letter dated 24th January stating that he is now at No. 1 General Hospital, Eretrat, waiting for forward orders. From 10th February, he writes from the Cyclist’s Base Depot at Rouen, contending with cancelled orders, sharing a tent with other men and 'a Major from Egypt who snores'. [2nd March] 50th Northumbrian Casualty Clearing Station, Northern France. ‘The principal enemy is boredom’ … ‘we can hear the guns plainly enough in the evening here but we much farther away from the trenches than we were at the 46th CCS. There are 600-700 patients in the hospital, most of whom have come down suffering from scabies treminous’. [9th March] ‘The day before yesterday I went out to see another camp. There had been an air battle over the German lines and an aviator had been killed – an observer – the officer acting as pilot on the same machine had escaped by a miracle. It appears that they were surprised in the air and the plane was riddled with bullets before they were aware of the presence of the enemy. The pilot who escaped was suffering from shock but he had roused himself to attend the funeral of his companion who was also his particular chum’. [15th March] ‘Gordon Watson is surgical consultant for this area… his brother was in the combatant ranks and was badly wounded for 5 days he lay out in no man’s land supporting himself with rations taken from dead me, then he was found and brought to hospital. Gordon Watson had one of his vein’s opened and blood was transferred from him into his brother, but the brother died and Watson is suffering from blood poisoning in the arm. Strange things happen in this war.’ [6TH April] … ‘I went round to the prisoner of war camp also to the aviators camp. The German prisoners looked sleek and well nourished and were far superior in physique to our own wretches of the labor camp as you will understand when I say that they were front line men while our labourers are there because they are unfit for home defence. From there I went to the aviators whom I found very depressed. Several of their number were killed in early this morning and the Captain a man named Smith seemed cut to the quick, they are only boys most of them … he told me that the average length of a man’s life in that camp was just 2 months’. [9th May, 13 Durham Light Infantry, B.E.F, France] ‘The officers at the mess seem sufficiently arguable – they are much addicted to foul language and horseplay among themselves, also of course a lot of alcohol is put down but these things are just the ordinary accomplishments of military life and the chief accomplishment of that perfect gentleman the British Officer’ [13th May] ‘I went to bed early last night and slept till perhaps 2 o’clock when I woke up to find myself in the midst of a ? bombardment, the Boche was raining stuff on our lines under the cover of which he made a raid which was sent off duly. Our casualties kept me bust from about 3 to 7. So far as I could make out they were all from the front trench about a mile from here where there was hand to hand fighting, bombing and machine gun practice’. Edgar Woodall’s obituary, courtesy of the Royal College of Surgeons, reads “Ambrose Edgar Woodall was born in Eccles, Lancashire, on 24 April 1885, the second son of the Reverend Samuel Russell Woodall, a Primitive Methodist minister. He was educated at Manchester Central High School, and having won a science scholarship from Lancashire County Council, he became a student of Manchester University, graduating BSc in 1905 and MB ChB in 1908, winning the Renshaw Exhibition, the Bradley Surgical Prize and the Leech Junior Research Fellowship. He then spent a year as a demonstrator in physiology and a further year as a research fellow, graduating MSc in 1909 and MD in 1911. He held various resident posts at Manchester Royal Infirmary from 1910 to 1913 before enlarging his experience at the London and St Bartholomew's Hospitals. He served in the RAMC from 1915 to 1919 and after obtaining the FRCS in 1916, he went to France and later to Italy before returning to London as resident surgeon to the Manor House Hospital, a post he held from 1920 to 1958. During these years he was medical advisor to the National Union of Railwaymen and other trade unions and an 'expert medical witness'. He was surgical specialist to the Ministry of Pensions from 1921 to 1924. His knighthood, conferred in 1931, was regarded as a reward for his services to Manor House Hospital and the Trades Unions whose hospital it is. As a medical man he established a unique position in socialist circles. George Lansbury, Tom Williams, Ben Tillett and Lord Citrine were among his distinguished patients. He was a member of the Central Medical War Committee during the Second World War and he was made a Baron in 1946. In 1949, at the age of 63, he married Joyce Eleanor, the widow of the Rt Hon H B Lees-Smith, PC, MP. There was no heir. He died on 2 February 1974, aged 88 years.”
