About This Item
St. Catharines: Vanwell Publishing Limited 978-1-55125-064-0 [978-1-55125-064-0] 2001, 1st edition. (Hardcover) Near fine in near fine dust jacket. 288pp. Photographs, illustrations, appendices, glossary. The spine is lightly worn and the dust jacket is very lightly rubbed. "Les Chater did not record the more horrific aspects of his time as a POW, partly out of fear of reprisals but also out of an innate determination to make the best of things. His spirit and resolve are apparent on almost every closely written page. Daily entries over 3-1 / 2 years provide a powerful record of his captivity: from the 'summer camp' atmosphere of the first camp in Java, through the growing despair on the boat to Japan where so many died, and the grinding deprivation and injustice of imprisonment, Les Chater emerged unbroken and full of hope for the future". Diaries of Les Chater. Edited by Elizabeth Hamid. Transcribed by Elizabeth Hamid. Locale: Japan; Java. (Military--Canada, Military--Canada, Prisoners of War, World War 2--Pacific Theater).
