Alistair Urquhart
Alistair Urquhart was a soldier in the Gordon Highlanders captured by the Japanese in Singapore. He not only survived working on the notorious Bridge on the River Kwai, but he was subsequently taken on one of the Japanese 'hellships' which was torpedoed. Nearly everyone else on board died and Urquhart spent 5 days alone on a raft in the South China Sea before being rescued by a whaling ship. He was taken to Japan and then forced to work in a mine near Nagasaki. Two months later a nuclear bomb dropped just ten miles away . . .
This is the extraordinary story of a young men, conscripted at nineteen and whose father was a Somme Veteran, survived not just one, but three close encounters with death - encounters which killed nearly all his comrades.
Wow - what a story.

Its extremely sad to hear how the POWs were treated and forgotten about.
I will never forget this story of human endeavour when all hope is lost. God bless you Alistair and your friends you will never be forgotten.

This book is a gut-wrenching, soul-stirring, and unforgettable read that left me breathless and tearful. The author's courageous story of survival and determination in the face of unimaginable hardship is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and bravery.
I was utterly humbled by the sacrifices of these young heroes, who fought for our freedoms with unwavering dedication and endurance. Their stories deserve to be told, and I'm forever grateful to the author for sharing his.
A poignant tribute to the brave men and women who served, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the true cost of freedom. Rest in peace, dear author, and may your story inspire generations to come. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM."
