Was just reading a bit about my grandfather's unit in WWII. He was in the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders and was captured at the Fall of Singapore in 1942. He was imprisoned in Changi, used as slave labour on the Burma railway for a couple of years and then transported to Japan on one of their "hellships" which were routinely torpedoed by the Allies. It's extremely sobering to think your existence depends on one diminutive Scotsman surviving such an ordeal.
