Australian ABC radio POW show

[Mike K]

For the Aussies out there ,

Radio National , the ABC's second AM network , is currently playing Tim Bowdens 1984 series AUSTRALIANS UNDER NIPPON . It's an 18 part series made in 1984 , Tim interviews the veterans of the 8th Division who became POW's . It airs at 11 am each morning right across the continent . Many of the interviewees are no longer with us unfortunately . Some of them had been in the army only 4 weeks before being sent to Malaya , and had never fired a rifle even .
