Flying Officer J. Callaghan

Pegu, Burma. c. May 1945. Informal portrait of Flying Officer J. Callaghan, a Beaufighter aircraft pilot, of Camelon, Stirlingshire, who was kept in solitary confinement for three months. RAF prisoners of war (POWs) who had been held by the Japanese in Rangoon, were finally released by troops of the British 14th Army near Pegu, after they had been made to march from Rangoon to Pegu on their way to Moulmein. As most of the RAF POWs were aircrew, they suffered solitary confinement.
