I think its a great site, i will be going this year and today we have 14 days left before we do go, i would like to thank Leonie for making this all possible for us 7 students from Queensland to go, i know we will have a great time there. Thanks heaps 🙂

Neil and Co this is a most impressive site. Trish and I congratulate all involved and I am looking forward to being with you again this April.

Hey all. Im currently on my Cadet Officers Course with the AAFC and I am doing my lectures in a few days. Having been the on the tour, Im doing my lecture on it and hopefully promote it a bit. Best of luck with this years tour.

I think your site is wonderful. My father (Ronald William Wyllie) who is nearly 90 years of age was a Prisoner of War in Changi and attached to the Burma Railway. He is a fantastic person and has so many stories, both good and bad to tell, of his experiences in wartime. If anyone wishes to correspond with him, please contact my email address. Thank you once again for an informative and memorable site. Regards, Karen Jones

My grandmothers first husband, Rees Anthony CROCKER VX65455, 25/27 Ind Bde Wkshp, was one of the many unlucky Australians who survived the Railway but perished following the sinking of the Rakuyo Maru on 12 September 1944. I thank you for this wonderful website on behalf of my Aunt and Uncle, children of Rees, who have very little knowledge of their fathers life and have only information researched and shared by people like you to give them some insight into what he went through. If anyone knew Rees or is able to help me find out his movements between the fall of Singapore and his death on the Rakuyo Maru I would be most pleased to hear from them.

Have just spent time in Thailand, and visited Hellfire Pass and Konchanaburi.. Was very moved by the experience and intend to return..

Id just like to say how excellent your site is.I appreciate every piece of information that helps me put together the events during that part of my grandfathers life.He was quite impressed with the site also.Thanks again.

Thanks for your help Neil…wish I had stumbled across your site sooner! Rick

Thank you for this excellent site. This site has thrown a very personal and yet informative light on the war years of my father Jim Sutherland ( No 1 Sqdn. RAAF – Kota Bahru, Burma-Thai Railway POW, Singapore POW, Awa Maru, Senryu POW) who died this year, August 2007. Like others who have commented in this guest book, not much was said of those years at home, and it is only now I begin to fully appreciate what happened thanks to the few sites like this. An especial thank you to Neil Mac Pherson who has so generously given of his time to supply us with further information on top of all his hard work here.
