I had a Dutch neighbour here in SA, as a boy he spent WWII in a Japanese internment camp. His father was in the Dutch Colonial Service in the then Dutch East Indies. As an officer in the Colonial Service he also had a commission in the Army Reserve.

The family was captured and because he was in army uniform, the father went to a POW Camp, the mother and my neighbour to be went into an Interment camp.

The father died soon after VJ Day, but the mother survived to almost 100.

I never understood why my neighbour drove a Nissan.
