Description
This is the diary kept by Jack Farrow, a 30 year old sergeant in the 5th Roayl Norfolks, who in 1941 was expected to go to India to train troops. However, the fortunes of war turned the world upside down and he found himself in the jungles of Malaya fighting for his life, not only against the Japanese Imperial Army but the jungle itself. Having made it back to Singapore in time for the surrender he was taken with many others to the notorious Changi jail where he was put in charge of the grim task of burying his less fortunate comrades.
