An Aussie friend of mine had an uncle who spent much of WWII in forced labor on the Japanese Death Railway in Thailand. You know, the Bridge over the River Kwai. He wrote a wonderful little piece about it for the _Bangkok Post_ in honor of this past Anzac Day. You can read it [here](http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/investigation/36614/one-man-s-story). His Uncle Oscar was a true hero.
