This has got to be one of the most amazing stories of wartime survival I have ever read. Please do yourself a favor and take some time to read the amazing story of a British WWII RAF veteran.
Captured by the Japanese after the fall of Bataan, Lester Tenney was one of the very few who would survive the legendary Death March and three and a half years in Japanese prison camps. With an understanding of human nature, a sense of humor, sharp thinking, and fierce determination, Tenney endured the rest of the war as a slave laborer in Japanese prison camps. His is an inspiring survivor's epic about the triumph of human will despite unimaginable human suffering.
Alkemade's life seems to have bee forged out of hi-tensile luck!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteYes- some sage once remarked, "given a choice between luck and skill, I will take luck anytime!"
