Almost four years of irrecoverable youth were left in the depths of that mine. I do not forget. I do not forgive”. Arthur Titherington Arthur Titherington has led the fight for justice over the treatment the POWs received at the hands of the Japanese.

In the pages of this heartbreaking memoir, he details exactly what happened to him during those terrible, terrible years. His honesty and frankness are both inspiring and moving.
