At the end of September 1944, an agricultural labour camp was set up at the site of a small plantation to the west of Bandoengan. Vegetables were cultivated here to meet the food supply needs of the camps in Ambarawa and Bandoengan. It was mainly boys and men from the camps Ambarawa 7 en 8 who were put to work there, with regular rotations, along with a small number of nuns. Until May 1st 1945, this camp was affiliated with Ambarawa 8, thereafter with Ambarawa 7. The forced laborers were housed in a number of houses and in improvised shelters of bamboo, wood, and atap.
