FEPOW Oral History Project

In 2007 LSTM initiated an Oral History Project to find and interview up to fifty FEPOW.

Within two years sixty-two Far East veterans had been interviewed. These men, all now in their late 80s or 90s, represent the fast-dwindling number of FEPOW survivors.

Through these interviews, the elderly gentlemen have shared not only memories of their experiences but also their unique long-term perspective. 

The project was commissioned by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in partnership with the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive and sponsored by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
