It is a secret that Australian army nurses from World War Two took to their graves. One was told by the Australian government to make no mention of violation by the Japanese in her statement before the war crimes tribunal. Sixty-five Australian nurses were evacuated from Singapore before it fell to the Japanese in February, 1942. Raising more questions than answers was a 10-page report in the National Library of Canberra written by Jean Williams, wife of Major Harold Williams, about investigations he conducted for the Australian War Crimes Section. She wanted to put this in her statement before the war crimes tribunal but was ordered not to by the Australian government."
