According to the Japanese code we deserved no mercy or respect because we had allowed ourselves to become prisoners. It was the most disgrace/ul thing that could have happened. We had committed the ultimate offence.
David Wade has been talking to former PoWs who survived the horrors of imprisonment in the Far East during the Second World War. Their stories describe the reality of the experience as they remember it 40 years later. For all of them It was an experience even more horrifying than that presented in such accounts as The Bridge on the River Kwal, A Town Like Alice and the BBC series Tenko. Producer
