When I'm 64

There is so much to learn about the past. Nobody under 60 would know about the Prisioner of War camp at Cowra,NSW where Japanese,Korean,Chinese, Italian and Indonesian prisioners of war were held during WW2.The camp was the scene of an attempted mass breakout in 1944 resulting in the death of 231prisioners and four Australian guards.It was demolished in 1947 but the site remains a reminder of the horrors of WW2 and just how widely the effects of it were felt. For a small remote NSW farming community the arrival of prisioners from such exotic and distant places must have seemed surreal.
