💨 Abstract

The article discusses the experiences of Indian POWs, specifically the Épinal escapers, after their return from World War II. Unlike their British counterparts, they were not well-received or feted. Regimental reports indicate complaints about pay, medals, and general morale. Some POWs waited six months for back pay, and some were disappointed not to receive certain awards. There was also resentment about perceived favoritism towards the Indian National Army.
