From the MCC Museum caption, 2013:
'E.W. 'Jim' Swanton, the celebrated cricket journalist and broadcaster, had this copy of Wisden with him when working for three and a half years on the Burma-Siam railway as a prisoner-of-war of Japan. Due to constantly circulating amongst Swanton's fellow prisoners, it has a claim to being the most widely read single copy of the almanack; each prisoner was restricted to six-hours' use. Rebound several times with gas-cape, held together with rice paste, a Japanese stamp indicates that the book was considered 'non-subversive'.
