In June 1945 approximately 250 boys from the camps Bangkong and Ambarawa 7 were put to work as woodcutters in an improvised camp in the teak forests near Kalitjeret, approximately seven kilometres north of Kedoengdjati station. The boys were housed in a small church and other buildings at an abandoned mission station. The conditions under which they lived were extremely poor: continual malnutrition, chronic lack of drinking and washing water, and heavy work. Just over a week after the Japanese capitulation the boys were taken back to the camps they’d previously occupied.
