Hello Paula

This is another story http://www.rjt.co.uk/Jack_Symon/html/hell_in_five.htm
by a Norfolk man about his time as a Japanese POW.

This chapter from the book refers to a camp called Chungkai which became
the base camp for the Railway of Death.

Well worth reading, there were many Norfolks in the same sitiuation.

You may also visit this dedicated site which may help you in your research.
