This is Brian Brown's personal diary of his rise from Belisha Boy
signalman up to the giddy heights of 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal
Corps of Signals between 1939 until 1945. Brian had a varied career
in the Army including 31/2 years as a Prisoner of War after being
ordered by CIC Percival to surrender to the Japanese at the fall of
Singapore on 15th February 1942. The Diary takes Brian from
Singapore to PamPong to work on building the new spur of railway
which extended to Rangoon to join up with the existing railway. On
the journey, in spite of the deprivation of hunger, illness &
fatigue which accumulated from being held prisoner in appalling
conditions, Brian worked with Indian elephants, herded cattle and
ate any stray pigs which crossed his path - these experiences
contributed to his decision to become a farmer later in life.
