Never A Medal: Love Loss and Survival in the Colonies

This remarkable memoir brings to life the extraordinary experiences of an ordinary English family swept up in the Japanese invasion of colonial Malaya and Singapore during World War II. A story of love, loss and survival, 'Never A Medal' exposes the irony of how so many people engulfed by that calamity, bravely endured unimaginable suffering, receiving scant recognition from a post-war Britain hurrying to forget its worst military disaster.
