The book stayed with him throughout his time at Changi PoW camp, and while he was working on the 'Death Railway'.

- Oppose -- I see nothing featurable in a 1942 book's image. Remember that it is the visual value we are recognizing here, not the documental importance. Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:12, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- Question Remember that it is the visual value we are recognizing here, not the documental importance. I'm not sure, and not so categorical. A high educational or documental value can mitigate a not-so-good visual value IMO...--Jebulon (talk) 17:56, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
