Prisoners of war in the Far East

Prisoners of war in the Far East experienced some of the most
horrifying and traumatic conditions of the Second World War. But
what of the experiences of family members and loved ones left at
home during this time?


In this podcast, writer Hilary Custance Green talks about her new
book 'Surviving the Death Railway', which is based on her
father's personal experiences. Using original records from our
collection, Hilary explores how prisoners and their loved ones
coped at this time and attempted to rebuild their lives at the
end of hostilities.
