I've just found my copy of Cicely's biography. The deprivations suffered were indeed terrible. Awful though it was in the camp there was perhaps more support available to the mothers in the camp [and more mother to mother support] than there is to mothers in war/disaster zones. 'Dr Margaret Smallwood looked after the children and their mothers, seeing them all daily and ensuring the fair distribution of any available food extras, for which nursing mothers and the sick had priority.'

In 1941, Dr Cicely Williams, was interred in a Japanese concentration camp. Like many of those so interred, she suffered terrible conditions:
starvation, disease, lack of medical care.
She helped those she were interred with her. During that time... "20 babies were born, 20 babies were breastfed and 20 babies survived." She
went on to pioneer work in how much infant formula, and infant formula marketeering, damaged babies' lives and health.
