Synopsis
Eminent surgeon Rowley Richards was a young doctor and officer in the army reserve when war broke out. He embarked for Singapore in 1941, a year before the Allies capitulated to invading Japanese forces. Richards became a POW and, as a medical officer, found himself tending to other prisoners in shocking conditions. In a diary, he recorded the horrors he witnessed as well as the courage, humour and mateship of his fellow prisoners. As the Allies advanced, he buried his writings in a bottle in a soldier's grave and made a map of the site which, remarkably, stayed intact during his transfer and imprisonment in Japan. Dr Rowley Richards' memoir begins with his carefree childhood in Australia, covers time spent in conditions which could - and did - prove fatal to so many others, and describes a vigorous and busy post-war career as a doctor. An engagingly personal story, it's also a reflection on humanity and on the will to survive.

An engagingly personal story, it's also a reflection on humanity and on the will to survive. After the end of the WWII, Australia's Directorate of War Graves Services uncovered a document hidden in a bottle. It was a summary of the secret diary of Dr Rowley Richards, a POW and medical officer on the Burma-Siam Railway. This memoir, about battle, imprisonment and survival, is based on the diary summary and Richards' other wartime writings.
