Canon Fred Stallard - former Taiwan FEPOW
During my POW life in Taiwan, I made great friends with a medical
corporal named Fujiie. He really saved my life when I collapsed with
cerebral malaria. |
I also knew several Christian guards. It was dangerous
for them to talk to us, but they often did. One came to a Communion
service ·it was a wonderful moment. I drew a lot in prison camp and
I still have a picture of Fujiie. My biggest memory of the spirit
amongst the prisoners was of the tremendous hope we all had. This
is extraordinary because when we were first taken prisoner, things
looked very black indeed. Agape is doing a wonderful reconciliation
work of building bridges between Japan and Britain. May its work continue
for many years to come. |
