Sheet 5

 

Our joy at getting back to England again was a joy that could never be expressed by anyone I feel sure who has suffered in a foreign country for as long as we had been, for it was now ten years since I had left England's shores and that period during those ten years that was spent as a P.O.W. will always be in my memory, I have but to close my eyes to bring back the memory so vivid of the day at KOCOPO, NEW BRITAN, when we were taken three of our comrades to their last resting place wrapped in their blankets, three of our men died in six hours was our worst experience.
