All Men Work 'Til Die

About the Book

The stories of this book are my experiences during World War 2, also events which took place previous to, but are nonetheless relevant to them. Taken from a day-to-day diary kept by me, hidden from my captors in my AP (water bottle). I was taken prisoner at Singapore by the Japanese and incarcerated for three and a half years.

This account has been enhanced and enlarged by extra memories triggered by reading my original diaries, which were sometimes written in a hurry due to illness or cut to a minimum at the time in case they were discovered by the Japanese. All sketches and poems are my own work unless otherwise stated – most prisoners, others from memory since.
