Video Section. There will continue to be new video interviews conducted by Lt. Col. Peter Winstanley OAM RFD (retired) JP on the website. There have been over 50 video interviews done. Initially it was intended to use these as research aids and they were not professionally done (as can be appreciated when viewing the interviews). However, it has become apparent that the complete stories as told by these survivors, is better than having the interviewer make an assessment of the importance of comments by the ex POWs and convert that to the written word. Accordingly all the video interviews will be placed on the website when our webmaster (Trevor Lancaster) has the time to work on them. .Click here to go to the video page.

Additional material on this site. I continue to receive material and information, which has real relevance to the experiences of POWs of the Japanese. To honour the efforts of those people, it will be my privilege to include their material.
Assistance
Requested. Readers
would be aware that my initial objective was to record something of the
43 Australian Medical Officers who were on the Burma Thailand
Railway. To that end I have only the following to
cover-
- Lieutenant Colonels Eadie and Dunlop,
- Majors Bruce Hunt, Ernie Marsden, Alan Hobbs, Lyall Andrews and
- Captains Dick Parker, Reg Wright .
I would be interested in receiving information about lesser known POW camps which were occupied in 1945. By that I mean Nakhon Nyok, Pitsanaloke, Lopburi, Katchu Mountain Camp. I have now visited these areas and had an 80% success in searching for particular locations. Two areas remain of interest, being Takri (or Takli) north of Nakhon Nayok and Kachu Mountain Camp being in the area of Phetburi south of Banpong. Any information about these latter areas would be appreciated.
Statistics. The website has now had over 430,000 hits.
