My husband and I had been prisoners of war to the Japanese in the infamous Burma-Siam railway camps during World War II. This book relates to these early years and our settlement in Australia in 1950, after two earlier attempts.After thirty-eight years of marriage, bringing up three sons, hard work, often incurring adversity and many hardships, we finally managed to retire and settled into a new house we built by the seaside in Victoria, Australia. But only six months later, I was on my own when my husband died through war related injuries. At a loss for something to do, I decided to record some of the incidents of those war years. It took me almost two years, and after many failed pages on a typewriter, a quick trip to England in March 1989 to discuss the finished manuscript with my father, (who was then aged ninety one), finally the story was written.However, it was shelved due to the loss of my husband, a remarriage and then the loss of my father in late 1993. In April 2005 I was left on my own once more, when I lost my second husband, and after many promptings from family members, friends and ex-colleagues, I was motivated to have another attempt to publish my story.
