These match box
covers were part of Japanese propaganda.
Part of the job was to train local guerilla forces consisting of Malays, Chinese and other native forces.
The short, dark and muscular Murut head hunters of Sabah like all others, had a deep hatred of the
cruel Japanese of the time. They were masters in the art of head hunting. Their blow pipes were deadly
accurate and they took great delight in collecting Japanese head trophies that were often
displayed on top of village poles.The third death march in Borneo consisted of 75 POW and approximately 200 Japanese soldiers.
Jackie followed part of this route with his commanding officer for 5 days. Sadly, the POW were
dropping off like flies as their Japanese captors slaughtered the weak and falling. Powerless to help
in any way, they had to return to Sandakan. When the last POW fell, the Muruts would have wasted
no time in delivering their poisonous darts into Japanese flesh. See Blood on Borneo.
