SCOTLAND’S FAR EAST PRISONERS OF WAR

 

Their Sacrifice, Our Stories to Tell

Illustrated map of the 1941-42 Japanese invasion of Malaya and Singapore with troop movements

They marched beneath distant skies, crossed jungles and mountains, endured captivity, starvation, and forced labour, and yet somehow found the strength to survive.

 

The story of Scotland's Far East Prisoners of War is one of extraordinary courage, resilience, and sacrifice. It is a story that deserves to be remembered.

 

Welcome to the Scotland FEPOW Trust, dedicated to preserving the history, honouring the memory, and sharing the stories of those who served, suffered, and sacrificed in the Far East during the Second World War.
