The Java Club was started by a group of 16 Far East Prisoners of War in the early 1980s who had come together at the annual conference of the National Federation of FEPOW Clubs and Associations in Blackpool. They had all been captured in Java in 1942 but were later drafted to a camp in mainland Japan and had all been in Hut 4 of the camp known as the 3rd Branch Camp, Yawata, Fukuoka, Japan. They produced a monthly newsletter, which expanded into the Java Journal, containing FEPOW accounts of their war-time experiences. In August 2007, the Club published “Prisoners in Java: Accounts by Allied Prisoners of War in the Far East (1942-1945) captured in Java”. Philip Sparrow is mentioned in two places in the book according to the index on the website.
