The Selarang Barracks incident was a revolt of British and Australian prisoners-of-war interned in a Japanese camp in Changi, Singapore.

The events started on 30 August 1942 after the Japanese recaptured four POWs escaped from the Selarang Barracks camps, and required that the other prisoners sign a pledge not to escape. After they refused, they were forced to crowd in the areas around the barracks square for nearly five days with little water and no sanitation. The executions of the recaptured POWs failed to break the men. The commanders, however, finally capitulated on 5 September when their men started to fall ill and die from dysentery. Upon signing the pledge, the men were allowed to return to the barracks buildings. Simmonds was at this camp and these photographs give a clear depiction of some of the conditions.
