Just returned from seeing the new release of The Railway Man, with Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman. Quite shaken and disturbed when seeing British soldiers surrendering, then being shipped off in trains to Burma to build a railway. Found myself back in Vietnam in the summer of 1969 when our firebase was almost overrun by the North Vietnamese Army soldiers. It never occured to me until now seeing The Railway Man that I could have been taken prisoner, and force marched back to north Vietnam. After all these years, Im still getting short flashbacks to that evening in Vietnam. Glad to be here, still!
