Arthur Moon

From Tarsau, the Force moved on foot approx 25 km to their first work area at Konyu, where they arrived with 875 POWs.

Moon moved to Hintok Mountain Camp in early April and was sent to Tamarkan to take up the post of Senior Medical Officer.

He took up the post on 1 May 1943, where he took charge of a camp that was not a proper hospital as it remained essentially unchanged from when the bamboo huts served as the quarters for POW workers that preceded them.

'[11] The collection catalogue cover shows a painting of a beckoning hand titled 'Bomb wound (air attack)' by Old.

[12][13] Arthur Moon Papers, Letters, and Medical Reports, including the diagrams and maps of soldiers' burial sites at the Tamarkan POW camp, are held by The State Library of New South Wales, MLMSS 4234.
