Three Came Home

Read a good book about family history or history recently? or what do you think of your Genealogy Software. Why not tell us about how good, bad or indifferent you think it was.

Three Came Home

Post by joesmith »

I have just read this book Three Came Home by Agnes Keith. It's about a mothers ordeal in a Japanese prison camp Agnes Keith married an English man who was Director of Forestry and Agriculture in British North Borneo, they both lived in Borneo and had a baby boy.The reason I bought this book was that my Aunt was a POW and was in these camps mentioned in the book.
I also bought the DVD but I found the book a lot better found I could not put it down once I started reading it.
There was a film made about this book in the 1950s hence the DVD not as good as the book, both available from Amazon.
A lot of Australian service men died in these camps plus many other nationalities, great book worth a read.
