A book was added in the Far Eastern Heroes by Beryl Canwell

https://www.far-eastern-heroes.org.uk/Pilgrimage_to_Ballalae/

This story starts over 60 years ago, in November 1942, when 517 officers and men of the Royal Artillery, prisoners of the Japanese, arrived on the small island of Ballalae in the South Pacific, one of the Solomon Islands, to help construct an air strip. Not one of those 517 men survived beyond June 1943. They died from disease and malnutrition, from Allied bombing, which was intense at that time, and those still alive when the air strip was completed were massacred by the Japanese. 600 Gunners Party
