About

The memoirs of the New Zealand author's escape in 1944 from a Japanese P.O.W. Camp after nearly three years of captivity.

An Aucklander, the author was a sub- lieutenant of the New Zealand Division of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, and sailed from Auckland to Singapore at the start of the war. He later went to Hongkong to join the 2nd Motor Torpedo Boat Flotilla. He was imprisoned at the fall of Hongkong, then escaped in 1944 after nearly 3 years in captivity. He made his way across China to Kunming. Trapped in the depths of Japanese territory, it was rare for Allied prisoners of war to attempt escape. Failure, and recapture, meant execution.
