The following report of conditions in North Korea
made by a member of the Australian Department of Information
is forwarded for your information.
"Russien occupation of Northern Korea.
With the permission of Colonel Duncan Sinclair,
I accompanied 4 members of an American prisoner of war
recovery unit, on September 15th, 1945, to Kanko strip in
Russian occupied Korea.
The object of my trip was to interview British and
Australian prisoners of war in Konan prisoner of war camp
about 8 miles from the strip, and report the nature of my
findings to the Australian government.
I represented myself to the Russians as an
Australian War Correspondent, and during my 7 days sojourn
in the area was not obstructed in any way.
My first days investigation was so revealing that
I decided to pursue my inquiries further afield and learn.
the true facts about the Russian occupation of Northern
Korea.
