I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many British and Australian prisoners survived out of about 2500 around Sandakan?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Although the campaign was criticized in Australia at the time, and in subsequent years, as pointless or a "waste" of the lives of soldiers, it did achieve a number of objectives, such as increasing the isolation of significant Japanese forces occupying the main part of the Dutch East Indies, capturing major oil supplies and freeing Allied prisoners of war, who were being held in deteriorating conditions.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
