Newhaven-On-Forth: Port of Grace

McGowran, Tom

John Donald

<p>This work contains over 40 articles, most written by Scottish survivors of Japanese Prisoner of War camps, as they describe the indescribable: deaths from beatings, disease and malnutrition; forced labour and capricious speedos; heroic attempts at saving lives in bamboo shacks awash after the monsoon with little or no medical equipment and the bombing of unmarked ships by Allied planes. These articles, buried in a bottle and retrieved after the war, are historical records but also provide a tribute to the human spirit in the depths of adversity.</p>
