A small file of copies of original documents accompanies the memoir. These include a telegram, a letter and the text of a radio message sent from William Ainslie to his wife Margaret informing her of his internment, and a postcard from another internee mentioning Ainslie. There is also a passenger list for SS ‘Nellore’, documents relating to the reception of Malayan evacuees in Australia, and a newspaper obituary for Dr Peter Chopping, who served with the RAMC and was interned in Singapore (18 sheets).
