| Summary: |
For months during 1943 there was no night in Hellfire Pass. By lamplight, men near-naked and skeletal cut a passage through stone to make way for a railway. Among these men were some of the 22,000 Australian soldiers taken prisoner by the Japanese during World War II. Their experiences became a defining feature of the war. |
