Thanks Paul, I googled and found the fepowmail site and it is very interesting and many other links to look at with very harrowing stories. I will also have a look at the Tony Banham site.

This looks interesting: http://www.fepowmail(.)com/index.html Tony Banham is willing to answer questions on Hong Kong POWs or Civilian Internees. : tony ('at') hongkongwardiary(.)com
