Synopsis

Roy Whitecross served as a Private in the 8th Division AIF from 1941 to 1945. He was incarcerated as a Japanese POW during World War II, he worked on the infamous Burma-Thailand Railway, where one man in every two that worked on it died; he endured deprivation, starvation, disease, torture and brutality. This gripping story of triumph, defeat, hope and defiance is fitting memorial to those soldiers who never returned home.
