Bill Flowers' Burma Railway War Story
"He never went to ANZAC Day. He just said 'I wish it was over'." This is the story of Bill Flowers of the 2/30th and 2/29th Battalion of 8th Division - the 'youngest commando in Malaya', who was captured with the Fall of Singapore and sent to work as POW on the Burma Railway. From his bravery with Rose Force (the little known special Ops unit that were the first Australians to take on the Japanese during World War Two), to the hardship of Changi and the horror of the Death Railway, this is a story of courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice that should never be forgotten. Bill's wife Betty and son Gary Flowers recount the details of his military service and period in captivity, while grandson William Comino reads his Changi letters.
