(They have short hair and no beards, so they may include Sikhs, Dogras, Pathans, and Punjabi Muslims, but haven't yet obtained material for their traditional turbans.) The Sergeant makes notes and sketches on a pad as the escaped POWs provide information about their experiences and information of possible value regarding Japanese forces. Scene shifts to the Punjab soldiers sitting in a grass-roofed hut, with the native Chief of Senai. Several of them sit in in front of the hut, smoking long-stemmed native pipes. The Senai Chief poses with a Punjab Sergeant. Two Stinson L-5 airplanes take off from the Senai field. A group of liberated prisoners prepares and eats a meal.
