A prisoner recalls brutal Burma railway labor, brutal guards, and scarce food. He details shifts through Thailand and Indo China, brutal transport aboard prison boats, raft survival after a naval strike, and eventual recovery in Saipan before rejoining allies near Guadalcanal.
The piece muses on Europe’s war ending and the limits of proclaimed dates. It notes political chatter will fade, Bevin and Bruce set pace, and cautions readers to temper celebrations while tracking postwar relief, with references to partridges, Finland, and Sibelius.
