Not even the Red Cross parcels that were sent were provided, and then only sporadically and at the end. Worth remembering that the official Japaneseicon plan was to kill all PoW's before surrender and in some places this was carried out.

Meanwhile the interned Japanese Canadians were enjoying care packages of special foods from the Imperial Government, with the exception of a small group who refused them on the grounds that they were Canadians and had no need of charity from an enemy government! From some camps polite greetings were exchanged with various Japanese government officials and on the whole the attitude seems consistent with that of interned enemy aliens. Along with celebrating the emperor's and Hitler's birthday, Japanese Navy Day, Pearl Harbour Day, etc., etc. Very pally with Germanicon PoW's too in some places where the camps were nearby. These are not allegations by the way, but all straight from their own accounts of which I have copies. There is much more that could be added I assure you.
