商品詳細情報:<p><strong>A British officer recounts his harrowing years as a POW in Thailand, including his time as the camp commandant, in this WWII memoir.</strong><br /> Colonel Cary Owtram served with the 137th Field Regiment, Royal Artillery, and the 11th Indian Infantry Division in Malaysia. After being captured by the Japanese in Singapore, he was transported to the infamous Burma railway. He went on to spend the next three and a half years in grueling captivity in Thailand, first in Ban Pong Camp and then Chungkai Campーone of the largest POW camps in the region.<br /> Owtram was appointed the British Camp Commandant at Chungkai, making him responsible for his fellow prisonersーa heavy responsibility added to the general deprivation and hardship suffered by all. During that time, Owtram kept a secret diary in which he recorded the brutal experience of surviving day to day and attempting to deal with their harsh and unpredictable Japanese captors.<br /> It is not only the prisoners who suffered, but also their families at home. The postscript by Owtram's daughters vividly demonstrates the agonies of doubt and worry that loved ones went through and the effect of the experience on all.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 |
