They moved me to tears. Man's inhumanity to man really does have no bounds.

I was only three when war ended, but these pictures jogged my memory and I distinctly remember the groups of prisoners of war in a double line being marched past our house on their way to work on neighbouring farms. Most were Italian, I know that the Italians had a Yellow diamond and the Germans had Yellow circles. Local people were on good terms with them and quite a few stayed on after the war and married local girls.

My father, who was a very quiet and mild mannered man had a deep hatred of the Japanese Nation, as his friend returned home after being a Japanese prisoner of war weighing 5 stone (70lbs). Yet the atom bomb on Japan was never mentioned in our house.

Nobody ever wins a war in my opinion. :(
Smile! It confuses people
