Just an interesting fact--one of my mates when I was a rookie postman was captured at Singapore and very badly treated by the barbarous Japs. He reckoned that the British officer who had to surrender to the Japs at Singapore was the same man who the entire Japanese nation had to surrender to unconditionally on Britain's behalf. Bet its true. It gave him a lot of satisfaction and helped to alleviate the horrors of waking up on sunny mornings and thinking he was back there. PTS--not a new thing.

I agree John nothing new about PTS except the name it has had some strange ones in the past from Shell Shock to Cowardice

Brilliant photos by the way--should have had better manners and mentioned that earlier--would love to pay a visit. Agree entirely about PTS--could tell a few more tales of family members tortured by the Japs but this isn't the place.

Thanks for the comments John I would suggest if you get the chance to visit just do it Regards John
