Dealing With The Experience
Mr. Routledge made what some may feel were surprising decisions for his life in an effort to put the prison camp experiences behind him. He also expresses his deep feelings that Canadians need to understand what he and his comrades experienced in Hong Kong.
His Thoughts About The People Of Japan
Most people, given the experiences of Canadian prisoners-of-war in Japan, would have predictable and understandable feelings about the Japanese people of that time - and of today. Most people - but not everyone, including Mr. Routledge.
His Thoughts About The Government of Canada That Sent Them
Unlike his feelings about the Japanese people, Mr. Routledge expresses disappointment with the Canadian Government of the time that sent the troops to Hong Kong.

At The Front
The PPCLI arrive at the front line, just north of the city of Seoul. Mr. Nickerson recalls the gruesome sight that greeted them.
Night Attack!
Mr. Nickerson describes his first encounter with the enemy - a night attack!

Night patrols were essential operations but were always dangerous. Mr. Nickerson describes his first experiences on a night wire-laying patrol.
