Lest we forget.
My thoughts on this day particularly go to the living veterans, many of whom came home with terrible mental scars and have suffered in silence over the years. For anyone who has an interest in history, there is an excellent ABC radio Series which can be downloaded as podcasts called
"Prisoners of war...Australians under Nippon" I've have downloaded all episodes, but only listened to a couple so far, it's a fascinating and moving insight in to what our soldiers suffered at the hands of the Japanese. I thought I understood the suffering that Australian soldiers suffered but the stories, told by survivors, put a true perspective on the horrors of war.
