THE BORNEO BUGLE NEWSLETTER

The Borneo Bugle Newsletter is a publication of the Borneo POW Relatives Association of Western Australia Inc. The newsletter is compiled bi-monthly commencing February 1st every year and is mailed to all members of our association. The first edition was published on October 1st 2002. This online edition allows the Borneo Bugle to reach a wider audience as many of the articles in the newsletter are of general interest and not specifically relating to our members or our location.

Articles by Bill Young, Lynette Silver and others, supplement contributions by our members. Some of the stories by Bill Young are also independently listed on our website, as are our POW Profiles, articles on Borneo POW Memorials and information on our Sandakan Dedication Day and our Sandakan Day Services held in Perth Western Australia.

Although the file sizes have been been reduced considerably by reducing the quality of the photos, the files are still large. If you do not have either cable or broadband internet access it is suggested to initially open the file then save the PDF file to your hard drive and view offline.
