Description: The life of a World War II prisoner of war in East New Britain Province.
As a child, some of my earliest memories were of dad telling me about life on an island not in the normal school atlas with some natives (he called Kanakas*). Kind people who in very difficult times saved his life ! - (* Kanaka is not these days a polite form of address to one of the Tolai natives, although this is what they called themselves 60 years ago)
