Added reference to women's creative work as prisoners in Changi

The handwork of the women civilian detainees in Changi was also dangerous and added from new citation. If there is a better page for this please redirect rather than delete. Thank you

Contradiction

[edit]

The first sentence says that POWs are non-combatants, but the Qualifications section says that they must be lawful combatants. Jim Michael (talk) 19:03, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see this is fairly old but doesn’t seem to have been resolved? Could the confusion be that only lawful combatants qualify for POW status upon capture or surrender? OgamD218 (talk) 19:09, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And that once they are POWs, then they are non-combatants and have to be treated as such. That may have been the original intention.Venqax (talk) 17:06, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was surprised to find that this subject did not have its own page. It also deserves more than just a list.

Greek empire?

Surely this should state Roman/Byzantine? 2A04:4A43:50CF:EF1F:C87D:D4A0:37D0:3EBE (talk) 18:25, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected it. The source also makes no mention of "Greek Empire", it only uses "Roman Empire". Alin2808 (talk) 10:05, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
