I've never read Reeman but I remember him being a favourite of my ex RN grandad, is he worth a look?
Obliterated the Singapore strategy in the first 25 pages
Before I go any further into the allied POW experience under the Japanese it's time to refresh how they got there.
Hooked on the first page.

Reading a couple of classics off the shelf, and a reminder that I never found Norman's third book on time in Italy in 1918.
2/11th Battalion
The final arrival from Australia (for now)
Don wall was a part of F force, 3000 of the 7000 POWs would die building their section of the railway.
Remarkably the efforts of the medical team prevented it from being much worse.

There's only one model kit for me.
