| 344 forum posts | Incredible what some people can achieve under almost impossible conditions! My father was in Burma and India during WW2 fighting the Japanese but was fortunately never captured. He would never talk about his experiences.

| 5563 forum posts 322 photos | This article appears to have been scanned from Guy Lautard's Machinist's Bedside Reader, judging by the page numbers, at least that's where I first saw it. It's slightly odd that the last page is a bit different, in this scan there's an extra bit about aluminium welding that's not in my copy. Guy's books are excellent, highly recommended, I guess he might be a bit cross about this copyright breach. |
