Importance of Sketch Book

A book of sketches created by Rabbit Hendricks. The drawings depict the daily lives of the prisoners and Rabbit would undoubtedly have been beaten if the Japanese had discovered it. The book is thrown on the funeral pyre when Rabbit is cremated but is thrown clear when one of the bodies explodes. Dorrigo finds the book and plans to throw it back on the fire, but hides it instead. It is released and published at the end of the war.
