Shame, as he went to an historian to find out why the Japanese were why they were.

We have just turned it off as we don't agree with him feeling sorry for the murderous Japanese after all the suffering of our men in their camps. How could he defend them after the way they were treated his own Grandfather included

Not too keen on Helena Bonham Carter - but it's about her grandparents - not her!

Thanks Mr M.
I'll tell the local school about this too.

I had a great day with Year 6 on a school trip on Monday to a World War 2 theme day at The Museum of Kent Life.
Most of the children had dressed up and carried a small box tied with string for their gas mask.
The children had talks about various aspects of wartime life, One of their favourite activities was having a go at making rag rugs by poking scraps of material through hessian. They took their little attempts home.
An interesting day for all.
