Building the railway of death: British PoWs tell the truth behind the horrifying tracks
THE Thai-Burma train line stretched just 258 miles but the human cost of creating this Railway Of Death was one of the worst atrocities of the Second World War. Those who perished included 12,399 Allied PoWs and at least 120,000 Asian labourers - one life lost for every rail sleeper laid.
