This is a normal post It must have been horrific. My Grandfather was Labour attache to Burma during the second world war.
He would never speak about his experiences, too harrowing I guess.

This is a normal post yes mine too
Was in Burma and he never said a peep about it. Also turned religious.
: (
I say that, I do know that his friend was shot as they were walking along some path somewhere and the war ended later than for other people.

This is a normal post Mine aso had a friend and colleague killed in sight of him, we never realised that he was fluent in Japanese until his eulogy was read out at his funeral.
Astonishing man, total pacifist.

This is a normal post The only other thing I can remember him saying
was about how they would have scorpions against centipede fights, bet on them and all that. Entertainment.

This is a normal post Northen Burma was shocking too...
Even Bastogne seems a bit jolly in comparison.

There's places on earth that seem to be "reservoirs" of pestilence... A bit like the message "don't go to Europa" in 2001. Why don't we get it?

This is a normal post my nans brother was a japanese pow and no one in the family would talk about what he had been through
after being released and given some medical atention to get him home, the first thing his family did nearly killed him, they made him a huge dinner despite the doctors telling them not to.
he was captured when singapore fell and died when he was in his sixty's he never regained any sort of good health and suffer terrible terrible nightmares for years , despised and hated the japanese but not for what they had done to him but for what they had done to his friends and pals.


apols for glum time memmorys

This is a normal post Mine too
he was with the BEF in France and got evacuated somewhere north of Dunkirk then got sent out to the Far East. The only time he spoke to me about it as a kid I stupidly asked if he'#d killed anyone (I was 8) and he never spoke to me about it again.

Edit

heres a photo of him and some chums larking around on a downed hurricane somewhere in Burma:
