  <dc:title>Changi internment camp medical inspection papers</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The sub-series comprises around 400 pages of medical inspection papers concerning individuals held in the Changi internment camp who were suffering from various forms of malnutrition. The information on individuals includes their name, age and notes on their condition. Many people were seen several times and this is cross-referenced throughout the papers. The information was compiled over a period of two years by Michael F A Woodruff. Woodruff was a Medical Officer and had been captured by the Japanese and held in the camp until the end of the War. The work carried out was under duress but proved to be valuable data for the MRC Special Report No.274 which was completed after the War. The raw data in this series was the basis for the report which brought to light a number of interesting discoveries concerning Asiatic diet and nervous disorders linked to malnutrition.</dc:description>
