[@newtonfirefly3584]

This is an obvious, clear, certain distortion, false depiction, False portrayal, False narratives of the actual events. The death of Dusty Miller is a clear, obvious, certain, absolute distortion of the death any Japanese Imperials would have executed, including the obvious, clear, certain, absolute distortion of the death of their "Chirxstian" God, Jesus. The actual common public hanging of the bodies the Romans killed, executed were done prior to the hanging, not that they died on the posts as depicted here and common distortion of reality within the "Chirxstian" "Doctrine". Also, the "Allied" bombers would never have dropped bombs on the POW camp either. This motion picture is another within the intentionally distorted versions of WWII, and specifically against the Imperial Japanese with the numerous distortions, misconceptions,, portrayals, narratives along with the British Army and misrepresentation of the existence of The Geneva Convention and The Hague which only were formed post WWII. Add the common misrepresentations, misconceptions, falsehood about, within the "Chirxstian" 'Religion', "Doctrine", False God, their Jesus, etc. Add the obvious, clear distortion of Major with his distorted mindset, views, perspectives, perceptions, actions and revenge upon the Japanese commander atthe end, which managed, according to this depiction to accomplish inDOCtrinated 'Honor' to kill himself, rather than be killed by his enemy that had bound him, intending to kill him with massive pre-torture.

The synopsis above says, "about Allied POWs who get captured in Japan during World War 2." I think they were captured some distance from Japan.

An outstanding film from Ernest Gordon’s excellent book. Of course, no book can totally encapsulate a film because of length. In the case of this film’s topic, a 100 percent accurate depiction of the Imperial Japanese Army’s (IJA) extensive list of atrocities cannot be brought to the screen in a ‘theatrical’ motion picture and only rarely in older documentaries that would not, these days, be allowed to reach a mass audience because of the images of real, extreme, violence. My uncle D’arcy Banks, a Tasmanian farmer and expert axeman, joined the Australian Army’s 2nd/40th Battalion, virtually all of whom were captured before they ever could fire a shot in anger. Their heavy weapons and all of their vital supplies were on another ship which was sunk before reaching its destination. After a brief stay at the Changi Prison they were transported to the jungle to work on the Japanese Burma railroad, along with more than 60 thousand Allied prisoners, although the final number may never be accurately known. Forty-five years ago, after a stint in the RAAF, I began to study military history while working as a journalist and film critic. It was my privilege, not only to hear my uncle D’arcy’s POW stories (which he almost never spoke of) plus, some years after D’arcy’s death, meet many of his former 2nd/40th comrades at a reunion held at my local RSL Club, (similar to the American and British Legions etc.). D’arcy swore it was only his skill with an axe that kept him alive. The relatively few men who could use axes well had some value to the IJA and were allocated a tiny extra ration of, sometimes, maggot-ridden rice; necessary extra protein would often consist of rodent meat which, after a couple of years, was considered a ‘delicacy’. From these first-hand sources, I was able to record details of the unimaginable brutality and torture inflicted on these unarmed, defenceless men by IJA officers and troops. Almost impossible to imagine, I was told that the torture and murders committed by the Korean guards in these camps, were disapproved of even by some of the Japanese soldiers; although this was told to me without any sense of mitigation for the former group. In this film I was pleased to see a ‘composite’ character in the credited, ‘Camp Doctor’, played well by the late, Tasmanian actor John Gregg. His character was roughly based on the most well-known Australian Army, surgeon Captain Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop, who richly deserves a film about his impressive, selfless career. In one of my several part-time jobs, while a mature-age student, I was a Theatre Technician at the Royal Women’s’ Hospital and I had the great honour of working alongside Sir Edward Dunlop a few times as he was winding down his surgery; approaching an overdue retirement. When he discovered I was studying military history he gave me generous encouragement and material advice for some of my best essays. He earned his reverential nickname ‘Weary’ from fellow medical students, before the war, as he was “tired out as a Dunlop tire,” (tyre). Apart from his medical studies he also found time to play Aussie Rules football for Ormond college; he also took up Rugby Union rapidly rising to State level and then representing Australia in the early 1930s. Joining the Army as a Captain Doctor, many of his fellow POWs resurrected his nickname as they swore, he never slept. He was one of two youngest Army surgeons to command medical teams on Hospital ships. (The other being Dr William McIver Rose. Whom I also worked for at The Royal Melbourne Hospital.) ‘Weary’ advanced quickly in the Army Medical Corps and eventually commanded a hospital which was overrun by the enemy. He was taken to Java and as he held the temporary rank of Lt. Col. the Japanese made him oversee all the medical officer POWs on the Burma railway, merely so they could claim to the Red Cross they were looking after the welfare of their prisoners and then take over Red Cross supplies meant for the POWs. This sometimes backfired as ‘Weary’ was responsible for near daily medical ‘miracles’ by organising all POW doctors to look after their patients with virtually no medical equipment or drugs. This, essentially, is what ‘To End All Wars’ is about; improvisation, barter, theft and caring for one’s mates. Read Ernest Gordon’s book, it’s a moving, excellent story. It’s also well worth looking into the impressive career of the late (Mr*), Sir Ernest Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop. A truly outstanding human being. No apologies for the length of this comment; I had to make many edits to get it down to this size, anyway, I hope some enjoy my memories. Sincerely, Bill H. * = Back then, specialist surgeons were referred to as "Mister". I am not aware of the origins of this 'tradition' nor do I know if this practice persists to this day. B.H.

Thank you for sharing this with us Bill . You shared information I didn’t know and thoroughly enjoyed reading . With a tear in my eye . I must confess . I work as a registered nurse in Adelaide and I have also heard stories from our diggers . Three who survived in Gallipoli ! All dead now RIP. I still occasionally meet a World War Two vet who hasn’t lost his memory to dementia reluctantly and occasionally share memories good and bad with me . I am starting to see more and more Vietnam war vets come into nursing homes . These guys I have found are the most reluctant to share for some reason . I respect their silence and privacy. May our political leaders and the United Nations learn from history that war should be a very last resort and only if it is absolutely necessary . God bless

[@BillHalliwell]

@@suzy4798 G'day Suzanne, thank you so much for your kind words. In my experience, all Australian war veterans I've met, from any conflict, are generally reluctant to talk of their war experiences, even to their families. There seems to be, however, a point of time, in many cases, where vets feel the need to tell someone of their good and bad times. This is often at a time when they finally realise that their end is near and many seem to feel their small part in the huge experience of war should be known to someone. Of course, participation in a war is the biggest event in most people's lives. It is good to see that, in recent decades, veterans are more likely to pass on their stories, be they proud or ashamed of them. I believe this is because there is a greater wish for civilians to know about the experiences of veterans, especially amongst younger generations. Sadly, there has been a long history of veterans' issues being ignored by veterans of earlier conflicts, as well as many other organisations and governments. I have seen this, first hand, in the RSL movement when WW2 vets, shunned Korean vets and those groups particularly ignoring Vietnam vets. It is now good to report that this trend has slowly died away as surviving vets of all conflicts now see themselves as having little differences. All wars are horrific and, as you rightly say, should be looked upon only as the ultimate 'last ditch' alternative. Trouble is; or maybe the saving grace is, that 'WW3' may not leave any surviving vets, or anyone else for that matter. Mutually Assured Destruction (M.A.D.) is perhaps the most profound acronym in our language. Thanks again. All the best. Bill H.

He still did NOT actually achieve any proper meaning with "Justice", the meaning of Life, nor his pursuits into anything meaningful, truthful, rather just more into the Falsehood, Pretense, LIES, False Portrayals, False Narratives within his mindset, from the InDOCtrination from his childhood through adulthood onward as a "Chirxstian" Chapel and the continued Propaganda from their False "Doctrine", 'new books', distorted versions of The Originals, etc.
