Gimson was not a POW - he was a civilian internee. Under international law POWs and civilian internees were quite different categories of prisoners and were treated differently. Anyone who was in military service at the time of their arrest by the Japanese was a POW; civilians became civilian internees. It is important not to get the two muddled. 86.143.69.45 ( talk) 10:02, 13 April 2010 (UTC) reply
