G'day Andu,. .I know you are quoting Wiley, but I can't find the original thread, so your post will do. . .Whatever you do, do NOT quote James Clavell ("King Rat") as an authority on what went on at Changi. His work is total fiction.. .My authority? - Guy Baker, one of the survivors, who I recently had the pleasure of meeting, says in his book "More Lives Than a Cat", that Clavell is pure imagination... .I would quote you the page number, but I have lent the book to son #2.. .Sorry about this late response, I have just found your post.. .Gru
