Ever seen pictures of Aussies when they came out of Japanese prisoner of War camps in World War 2?

I have seen a British production on the siege of Hong Kong and the imprisonment of the soldiers over the balance of the war. It was incredibly brutal. Were Australians there? I don't think I have ever seen anything else on Japanese prisoners of war. One of my all time favorite movies is Bridge Over the River Kwai. But, I got the impression that the movie would be pretty tame if you compared it to the actual conditions of some of the camps such as Hong Kong.
