The Forgotten Highlander

book review and extracts

Over five years spent serving his country during WW2. Captured at the fall of Singapore, forced to work on jungle railways and bridges, sunk on a Japanese slave labour ship, imprisoned near Nagasaki, experienced the ‘Big Boy’ nuclear blast, finally returning home to pick up life’s pieces. Authored at 89 and died quietly at home in his bed. A tale told on behalf

of the hundreds of thousands who died in Burma.
