Kampong Makassar, Batavia, Java, Netherlands Indies.

Kampong Makassar, Batavia, Java, Netherlands Indies. A visiting male volunteer, from an other internment camp, helps out in the kitchen. Many male and female, both ex-internees and Indonesians from outside Kampong Makassar came to assist between September and November 1945. A short time ago conditions in this camp were indescribable but since this photograph was taken Allied authorities have taken over and many improvements have been made and medical supplies more plentiful.
