-I've been waiting 50 years...	0:00:00	0:00:02
-..for my father to tell his story.	0:00:02	0:00:05
-I have two children, -a granddaughter and a grandson.	0:00:06	0:00:09
-They won't have to wait 50 years -to hear their grandfather's story.	0:00:10	0:00:15
-I haven't -spoken about the war before.	0:00:15	0:00:18
-I didn't think -I had a story worth telling.	0:00:19	0:00:21
-I want to lift the lid -on what happened in Korea.	0:00:22	0:00:26
-It's the forgotten war.	0:00:26	0:00:28
-I want to know -what role my father played...	0:00:28	0:00:31
-..and hear -the experiences of others...	0:00:31	0:00:34
-..before they're lost forever.	0:00:34	0:00:36
-There are some memories -that you lock away.	0:00:38	0:00:41
-You don't -want to be reminded of them.	0:00:41	0:00:44
-When you see people -being killed and mutilated...	0:00:44	0:00:48
-..it's not nice at all.	0:00:48	0:00:51
-The soldiers were conscripts.	0:00:56	0:00:58
-They hadn't chosen to be in a war -on the other side of the world...	0:00:59	0:01:04
-..experiencing -the worst horrors imaginable.	0:01:04	0:01:08
-We had a sergeant, -who was a real soldier.	0:01:10	0:01:13
-He told me, "Never believe that the -brave don't cry. That's rubbish."	0:01:13	0:01:19
-At night when I'm asleep, -I see the faces of the men I killed.	0:01:20	0:01:26
-It's still very difficult -to stop the nightmares.	0:01:26	0:01:29
-He was going to kill you -unless you killed him first.	0:01:33	0:01:36
-The years have gone by.	0:01:38	0:01:41
-Between 1950-1953...	0:01:42	0:01:44
-..nearly 100,000 British soldiers -fought in the Korean War.	0:01:45	0:01:49
-A war between two cultures -and two visions of the world.	0:01:49	0:01:52
-60 years on from the armistice...	0:01:53	0:01:55
-..tensions between South and -North Korea are still as palpable.	0:01:55	0:02:00
-It was a war -that scarred a generation of men.	0:02:00	0:02:03
-My father for one, among -a multitude of Welshmen and Koreans.	0:02:03	0:02:07
-Many of us have lost relatives.	0:02:08	0:02:11
-But once -the link in the chain has gone...	0:02:11	0:02:16
-..we regret -not having asked more questions.	0:02:16	0:02:19
-If you don't ask...	0:02:20	0:02:21
-..you'll never know -and one day it'll be too late.	0:02:22	0:02:25
-My father's initial reaction on -hearing I was going to Korea was...	0:02:32	0:02:36
-.."There are -better stories than mine."	0:02:36	0:02:39
-We, as brothers, were -more aware of the Vietnam War...	0:02:40	0:02:43
-..because it was happening -when we were growing up.	0:02:44	0:02:47
-Then suddenly, -we started asking questions...	0:02:47	0:02:51
-..about what happened in Korea, Dad?	0:02:51	0:02:54
-He told us very little.	0:02:54	0:02:56
-It's only recently, -after pressing him...	0:02:56	0:03:00
-..that he's willing -to reveal his experiences.	0:03:00	0:03:03
-As a reporter...	0:03:04	0:03:06
-..I almost feel it's my duty...	0:03:06	0:03:08
-..to learn more.	0:03:08	0:03:10
-Often if it's in the family, -the closer you are to it...	0:03:12	0:03:16
-..the less you pry.	0:03:16	0:03:18
-Did I -talk about it to my own family?	0:03:19	0:03:22
-I don't think on the whole -that I did.	0:03:22	0:03:24
-Generations -are not interested, are they?	0:03:25	0:03:28
-We all wish we'd spoken more.	0:03:28	0:03:31
-My father's from Manchester...	0:03:33	0:03:35
-..and his work has taken him -to the four corners of the world.	0:03:36	0:03:39
-He was a member -of the Nobel-prize-winning team...	0:03:39	0:03:42
-..for the first ever -kidney transplant...	0:03:42	0:03:45
-..which took us to America -for a time.	0:03:46	0:03:48
-He doesn't talk about it, -neither does he talk about Korea.	0:03:48	0:03:52
-Like all young men -of his generation...	0:03:52	0:03:55
-..he had to do national service.	0:03:55	0:03:58
-He was Chief Medical Officer -aboard Dunera troopship.	0:03:58	0:04:02
-It was a big decision -since my parents were newlyweds...	0:04:03	0:04:06
-..and my brother Dafydd -was just a baby.	0:04:06	0:04:10
-Your mother made the classic remark.	0:04:10	0:04:12
-"You go to Korea -and I'll go home to my mother."	0:04:12	0:04:15
-Not many women would say that.	0:04:15	0:04:18
-I could never let her down -after she let me go.	0:04:18	0:04:21
-His predecessor was a Catholic.	0:04:21	0:04:24
-Part of the role -was to educate people...	0:04:24	0:04:27
-..about -sexually-transmitted diseases.	0:04:27	0:04:30
-It involved handing out condoms, -which he refused to do.	0:04:30	0:04:34
-Worse than that, -he threw 10,000 condoms overboard.	0:04:35	0:04:38
-It meant none of the soldiers had -shore leave for the whole voyage.	0:04:39	0:04:43
-My father became his successor.	0:04:44	0:04:46
-There were all sorts of diseases.	0:04:46	0:04:49
-Sexually-transmitted diseases were -treated on the way there and back.	0:04:49	0:04:54
-Men with physical -and psychological wounds.	0:04:54	0:04:57
-It was a huge responsibility -for a 25-year-old.	0:04:57	0:05:00
-I was confident -and looking forward to going there.	0:05:01	0:05:05
-I was a little bit apprehensive -about all the responsibility.	0:05:05	0:05:10
-It was a huge responsibility.	0:05:10	0:05:13
-I was looking forward -to visiting the Far East.	0:05:13	0:05:16
-I'd never been further than Spain.	0:05:17	0:05:19
-At that age, -we were looking for experience.	0:05:19	0:05:23
-It made a man out of me.	0:05:23	0:05:26
-The Dunera transported soldiers back -and forth from Britain to Korea...	0:05:26	0:05:32
-..but on the voyages home, -he would've encountered men...	0:05:32	0:05:36
-..who had been mentally -and physically scarred by the war.	0:05:36	0:05:40
-One detail about one of -those journeys has stuck in my mind.	0:05:41	0:05:45
-I was called about 3.00am.	0:05:46	0:05:48
-Something terrible had gone on the -F4 troop deck at the ship's bottom.	0:05:49	0:05:53
-In the toilet was this body -who was bleeding to death.	0:05:54	0:05:58
-We were unsure -if it was suicide or murder.	0:05:58	0:06:01
-I want to find out more about -what happened to that young man...	0:06:06	0:06:10
-..and the thousands of soldiers -who fought in Korea's forgotten war.	0:06:10	0:06:15
-I've wanted to visit Korea...	0:06:15	0:06:18
-..to put my father's experiences -into context.	0:06:18	0:06:22
-I want to discover why they fought, -where they fought...	0:06:22	0:06:26
-..and to see -if people still remember.	0:06:26	0:06:29
-60 years have passed.	0:06:29	0:06:32
-Do they, unlike my father, -share their memories?	0:06:32	0:06:36
-What's important to me -is to get the full picture.	0:06:36	0:06:41
-As a reporter, you tend to get -one side of the story.	0:06:41	0:06:45
-But it's important to give -the other side of the story too.	0:06:45	0:06:48
-Korea's more or less disappeared -from public consciousness.	0:06:52	0:06:56
-But it shouldn't be because -it was an important war...	0:06:57	0:07:01
-..at a crucial time in history - -the beginning of the Cold War.	0:07:01	0:07:06
-It was the first war -Britain had fought since WWII.	0:07:06	0:07:09
-It provided the platform -for the ensuing Cold War...	0:07:10	0:07:13
-..which lasted decades.	0:07:13	0:07:15
-At the end of WWII, Korea, -like many European countries...	0:07:19	0:07:22
-..was split in two.	0:07:22	0:07:24
-A straight line -was drawn along Parallel 38.	0:07:24	0:07:27
-To the north, a country under -the influence of Soviet communism.	0:07:27	0:07:32
-To the south, a capitalist country -under the influence of America.	0:07:32	0:07:37
-Since then, both countries -have followed very different paths.	0:07:37	0:07:41
-Here at the border, -tensions are plain to see.	0:07:41	0:07:44
-The relationship between -the two countries remains fragile.	0:07:45	0:07:48
-Look at the border for a moment, -or rather listen.	0:07:51	0:07:54
-All you hear is birdsong.	0:07:55	0:07:57
-But look again -and you see barbed wire...	0:07:58	0:08:00
-..and soldiers -separating two warring countries.	0:08:01	0:08:05
-In the middle, -nature has recaptured...	0:08:05	0:08:08
-..the world's most militant border.	0:08:09	0:08:12
-I'm not a sentimental person...	0:08:12	0:08:15
-..but I'm moved by this sight.	0:08:15	0:08:18
-Situated less than an hour away -from the border...	0:08:21	0:08:25
-..is Seoul, -the capital of South Korea.	0:08:25	0:08:28
-On 25 June 1950...	0:08:28	0:08:31
-..the Russian-armed -North Korean army...	0:08:31	0:08:34
-..crossed Parallel 38.	0:08:34	0:08:36
-Within four days, they captured -the capital and were pushing south.	0:08:37	0:08:41
-For America, it was a perfect -opportunity to bare its teeth...	0:08:41	0:08:46
-..in the face of Communism.	0:08:46	0:08:48
-Today Seoul is a prominent, -modern city that's been transformed.	0:08:53	0:08:57
-Soo Jeong Kim, -my interpreter on the journey...	0:08:58	0:09:01
-..was raised in the suburbs...	0:09:01	0:09:03
-..and is familiar with life -in the shadow of the North.	0:09:03	0:09:06
-That is part of our life.	0:09:07	0:09:10
-History is so important...	0:09:11	0:09:13
-..and the Korean War -is a big part of Korean history.	0:09:13	0:09:16
-The Korean war changed everything.	0:09:17	0:09:20
-It's all threatened by North Korea.	0:09:20	0:09:23
-That is the reality.	0:09:23	0:09:25
-But Korean people -have got used to it.	0:09:25	0:09:28
-We live in Seoul. It's only -60km away from the border.	0:09:28	0:09:33
-We are not allowed to go to North -Korea or meet North Korean people.	0:09:33	0:09:38
-We feel cut off.	0:09:38	0:09:40
-Do you feel that one day -Korea will be one nation?	0:09:40	0:09:44
-I hope so. I really hope so.	0:09:44	0:09:46
-If we see some kind of programme -about North Korea and South Korea...	0:09:47	0:09:51
-..lots of people cry.	0:09:52	0:09:53
-People still have family -in North Korea.	0:09:54	0:09:57
-A border is a really important -thing. You can't travel very easily.	0:09:57	0:10:03
-What's your ambition?	0:10:04	0:10:05
-What's your ambition? - -One day I can go to North Korea...	0:10:05	0:10:07
-..on foot or bicycle or train.	0:10:08	0:10:10
-And through North Korea -I can visit China and Russia.	0:10:10	0:10:14
-And I can -go to Europe by train from Seoul.	0:10:15	0:10:19
-Europe by train is your ambition? -It's a long journey.	0:10:19	0:10:23
-Yes, but I'm looking forward to it.	0:10:23	0:10:26
-One thing is obvious - -the people of Korea remember.	0:10:26	0:10:31
-I can't say that's true -of people in the West.	0:10:32	0:10:35
-People were being killed.	0:10:35	0:10:37
-People were brave. -There were heroes in Korea.	0:10:37	0:10:42
-Why should -their contribution be forgotten?	0:10:44	0:10:47
-The Korean War continues to be -an uncomfortable memory for many...	0:10:52	0:10:58
-..because there was no end.	0:10:59	0:11:01
-There's no certainty -over what was achieved in Korea.	0:11:04	0:11:08
-Why were -all those soldiers killed...	0:11:08	0:11:10
-..when, after three years, -the borders remained the same?	0:11:11	0:11:15
-They remain in place to this day.	0:11:15	0:11:18
-Regardless of the debate -surrounding the war's validity...	0:11:25	0:11:29
-..what strikes you as you walk among -the gravestones is the loss of life.	0:11:30	0:11:34
-Britain lost -more than 1,000 of its soldiers.	0:11:34	0:11:37
-South Korea -lost a million of its people.	0:11:37	0:11:40
-There are signs of the South -Koreans' respect for their elders...	0:11:40	0:11:44
-..throughout this country.	0:11:45	0:11:46
-Mam always used to say -that every wound heals...	0:11:47	0:11:50
-..but the scar remains -as proof of the suffering.	0:11:51	0:11:54
-Headstones -are indications of the dead.	0:11:54	0:11:58
-A record of the sacrifice.	0:11:58	0:12:00
-But they're also testament -to the futility of war.	0:12:00	0:12:04
-Other witnesses of the war -are the veterans who survived.	0:12:05	0:12:10
-I'm sure their memories -and mental scars...	0:12:10	0:12:13
-..are still painful to bear and raw.	0:12:14	0:12:18
-From where do you come?	0:12:19	0:12:21
-SHE SPEAKS KOREAN	0:12:22	0:12:23
-North Korea.	0:12:24	0:12:27
-North Korea?	0:12:27	0:12:28
-North Korea? - -Were you in the North Korean army?	0:12:28	0:12:30
-No, I escaped from North Korea and -fought for the army of the South...	0:12:30	0:12:35
-..leaving my family -and everything behind.	0:12:35	0:12:38
-I'm all alone here in South Korea.	0:12:38	0:12:41
-You have not seen your family -since the Korean War?	0:12:41	0:12:44
-Because I now live in the South, in -the eyes of the North I'm a traitor.	0:12:45	0:12:49
-There's no way -I'll see my family again.	0:12:49	0:12:53
-He'll never see his family at home.	0:12:53	0:12:56
-How many did he leave behind?	0:12:57	0:12:59
-My grandmother, my parents and -five brothers. Eight of us in all.	0:13:00	0:13:07
-Because I was considered a traitor, -my family was sent to a prison camp.	0:13:09	0:13:16
-My Chinese friend went back to look -for them but there was no-one left.	0:13:16	0:13:22
-I often go to the summit of Mount -Kimpo to see my old village.	0:13:22	0:13:30
-How do you feel about that?	0:13:31	0:13:33
-HE SPEAKS KOREAN	0:13:33	0:13:35
-I can't say anything.	0:13:40	0:13:42
-I'm very sad because you are -asking that kind of question.	0:13:42	0:13:46
-It's sad and awful.	0:13:47	0:13:50
-You came down and know nothing -about your family afterwards.	0:13:52	0:13:57
-Talking to you -brings back those memories.	0:13:57	0:14:01
-You come from a large family and you -don't know what's happened to them.	0:14:02	0:14:07
-There's no hope -of seeing my family again.	0:14:11	0:14:15
-My parents -would be over 100 years old.	0:14:15	0:14:18
-My brothers and sisters -would be in their eighties.	0:14:18	0:14:26
-I suspect -they have all been killed by now.	0:14:26	0:14:31
-Seeing him cry was awful.	0:14:32	0:14:35
-65 years later -and he still doesn't know...	0:14:35	0:14:39
-..what happened to his mother, -father and brothers...	0:14:39	0:14:43
-..because this barbed wire border -still exists.	0:14:43	0:14:49
-He's had to carry on all alone.	0:14:49	0:14:51
-I'm lucky.	0:14:55	0:14:57
-I can come here -and trace my father's story...	0:14:57	0:15:00
-..and his association -with this country...	0:15:00	0:15:03
-..and I can pass it on to my family.	0:15:03	0:15:06
-My father was also lucky.	0:15:06	0:15:08
-Yes, he saw atrocities, but from -the relative safety of the Dunera.	0:15:08	0:15:14
-What struck me -from talking to the veterans...	0:15:14	0:15:18
-..is that their scars -are still as painful as ever.	0:15:18	0:15:21

-Britain lost -1,009 of its soldiers...	0:15:32	0:15:35
-..in the Korean War.	0:15:35	0:15:37
-Many more suffered -the after-effects for years later.	0:15:38	0:15:41
-But the war has been forgotten...	0:15:43	0:15:45
-..and so too -the soldiers' experiences.	0:15:45	0:15:48
-In terms of -my father's time in Korea...	0:15:48	0:15:51
-..he doesn't feel like -he contributed much...	0:15:51	0:15:54
-..since he barely set foot on land.	0:15:54	0:15:56
-He was mostly at sea and has never -received a medal for his service.	0:15:57	0:16:01
-He felt a sense of guilt -that he wasn't fighting in Korea.	0:16:02	0:16:06
-In a matter of weeks, the armies -of the South were pushed down...	0:16:10	0:16:15
-..to a small area in the southeast, -where a perimeter was formed.	0:16:15	0:16:19
-The US thought the only way -of solving the problem...	0:16:20	0:16:23
-..and saving the South was by -deploying thousands of its soldiers.	0:16:23	0:16:28
-But within a matter of weeks...	0:16:28	0:16:30
-..the numbers rose from tens of -thousands to hundreds of thousands.	0:16:31	0:16:36
-They needed more support, so -they went to the United Nations...	0:16:36	0:16:41
-..which was new at the time, -to seek that support.	0:16:41	0:16:44
-Britain was one of the first -to join the United Nations' forces.	0:16:45	0:16:50
-The majority of the British Army -were young conscripts...	0:16:50	0:16:54
-..who hadn't chosen to join -the armed forces and go to a war...	0:16:54	0:16:59
-..on the other side of the world.	0:16:59	0:17:01
-When they landed in the port of -Busan, they ensured the Americans...	0:17:02	0:17:06
-..knew they had arrived.	0:17:07	0:17:10
-We were travelling -on the train from Busan...	0:17:10	0:17:13
-..where there was an American camp -and a banner with the slogan...	0:17:14	0:17:18
-.."We are second to none."	0:17:19	0:17:21
-We were travelling along...	0:17:22	0:17:24
-..and on the way, we came to -the Royal Engineers' camp.	0:17:24	0:17:28
-They were British soldiers.	0:17:28	0:17:30
-They'd put up a banner -with the warning, "We are none."	0:17:30	0:17:34
-That encapsulated the sentiment, -I think.	0:17:34	0:17:38
-As the South's troops and allies -drive forwards to the north...	0:17:41	0:17:44
-..all the way up -to the Chinese border...	0:17:45	0:17:48
-..China drives in -around Christmas 1950...	0:17:48	0:17:51
-..to bolster -the armies of North Korea.	0:17:52	0:17:55
-Within days, the US army, along -with its allies, are overpowered.	0:17:55	0:18:00
-They're forced back down to the -38th Parallel, about halfway down...	0:18:00	0:18:04
-..where the war stagnates.	0:18:05	0:18:07
-British troops were deployed -to strengthen the front line...	0:18:08	0:18:12
-..which stretched over 250km.	0:18:13	0:18:15
-Many of them were stationed -on the Dunera with my father.	0:18:15	0:18:19
-It was very exciting -for men of that age.	0:18:19	0:18:23
-I knew plenty of lads -who wanted to go abroad.	0:18:23	0:18:27
-But we wanted to fish or do a bit of -gardening. We didn't want to fight!	0:18:28	0:18:33
-Korea was nothing to do with us.	0:18:34	0:18:38
-The first time -I met the battery sergeant major...	0:18:38	0:18:41
-..he said, -"If you were in the American Army...	0:18:41	0:18:44
-"..you'd be told that you were here -fighting for democracy and freedom.	0:18:45	0:18:49
-"Rubbish. You're here -because it's your hard luck."	0:18:49	0:18:52
-I've arranged to meet Dafydd Mali -from Y Felinheli...	0:18:52	0:18:56
-..who's married a Korean lady and -now lectures at Busan University.	0:18:56	0:19:01
-I haven't seen him in years.	0:19:02	0:19:03
-My father worked with his mother.	0:19:04	0:19:06
-Dr Mali was our GP in Bangor.	0:19:06	0:19:09
-It's obvious who your parents are.	0:19:10	0:19:13
-It's been a long time.	0:19:13	0:19:15
-Are you alright?	0:19:15	0:19:16
-Are you alright? - -I'm good. Welcome to Busan.	0:19:16	0:19:19
-I'm looking forward -to showing you around.	0:19:19	0:19:22
-Compared to modern day...	0:19:29	0:19:31
-..what kind of place -would Busan have been in 1953?	0:19:31	0:19:35
-When Uncle Ken came here, -there was nothing here.	0:19:35	0:19:39
-The port was here -and the army was here.	0:19:39	0:19:42
-People fled here from the North.	0:19:42	0:19:44
-All Uncle Ken remembers is a shanty -town full of wooden huts and tents.	0:19:44	0:19:50
-The only place that was established -was an area where the soldiers went.	0:19:50	0:19:55
-A trading area, -a red-light district and the port.	0:19:55	0:19:59
-It's incredible to think how much -this place has changed in 60 years.	0:19:59	0:20:04
-But are they constantly -living in fear of the North?	0:20:04	0:20:07
-In Korea, they think everything -can be taken away in an instant.	0:20:08	0:20:11
-In the back of their minds, they -know a war could break out any time.	0:20:12	0:20:16
-The association between -my father and Dafydd is odd...	0:20:16	0:20:20
-..because Dafydd has spent more time -discussing Korea with my father...	0:20:20	0:20:25
-..than I have, mainly because -he lives in Busan.	0:20:25	0:20:28
-But maybe also -because he interrogated him.	0:20:29	0:20:32
-I'm meant to be a reporter but we -never ask questions in our family.	0:20:33	0:20:38
-It was from this port that they -would transport soldiers home...	0:20:38	0:20:43
-..following the armistice of 1953.	0:20:43	0:20:46
-On one of those voyages, my father's -ship was filled with soldiers...	0:20:46	0:20:50
-..from -the Gloucestershire Regiment...	0:20:50	0:20:52
-..famed for its bravery -during the Korean War.	0:20:52	0:20:56
-We were coming back home -and we just sailed passed Gibraltar.	0:20:57	0:21:02
-My staff sergeant woke me up in -the middle of the night and said...	0:21:03	0:21:07
-.."There's a dreadful injury -to somebody on F4 troop deck."	0:21:07	0:21:11
-It was right down -in the bowels of the boat.	0:21:11	0:21:14
-A stinking, dark -and unpleasant place.	0:21:15	0:21:18
-So we went down there.	0:21:18	0:21:20
-We arrived in a toilet.	0:21:20	0:21:23
-The body -was slumped over the seat...	0:21:23	0:21:26
-..and there were -gallons of blood everywhere.	0:21:26	0:21:30
-There were three or four inches -of blood in this lavatory pan.	0:21:30	0:21:35
-I put my hand -into the bottom to see...	0:21:35	0:21:39
-..and there was a razorblade.	0:21:40	0:21:42
-So it was then murder or suicide.	0:21:43	0:21:47
-I wasn't sure which.	0:21:48	0:21:50
-On his right hand -there were slivers of skin...	0:21:50	0:21:55
-..as if he'd been holding -a razorblade in his hand like that.	0:21:55	0:21:58
-I'd never seen anything like this.	0:21:59	0:22:01
-I got stiff cardboard...	0:22:01	0:22:04
-..and I spent -several hours cutting it up.	0:22:05	0:22:07
-It was the same consistency -as the cartilage.	0:22:08	0:22:11
-I was seeing -if I could hold a razorblade...	0:22:11	0:22:14
-..and cut this -without cutting my fingers.	0:22:15	0:22:17
-And I couldn't. -So I was convinced it was suicide.	0:22:18	0:22:21
-The captain wanted -to bury the body at sea...	0:22:22	0:22:26
-..but it was decided -that they must keep it.	0:22:26	0:22:29
-If I put him over the side, -I've lost my evidence.	0:22:29	0:22:34
-The problem was we had all the press -waiting in Southampton for a story.	0:22:34	0:22:39
-The press would've loved this.	0:22:40	0:22:42
-Murder hidden by the army at sea.	0:22:42	0:22:45
-A post-mortem was required, so Dad -hid the body in the ice-cream store.	0:22:45	0:22:50
-To quell any rumours of foul play...	0:22:52	0:22:54
-..the authorities -were waiting for the Dunera.	0:22:54	0:22:58
-I signed the forms -but all I wanted was to go home.	0:22:58	0:23:02
-Since that day in October 1953, my -father has heard no more about it.	0:23:02	0:23:07
-Apparently, the body -of Lance Corporal Kenneth Newby...	0:23:07	0:23:11
-..of the Gloucestershire Regiment -was one of only two soldiers...	0:23:11	0:23:15
-..who had died during the Korean War -to have been buried in Britain.	0:23:15	0:23:20
-The cemetery in Busan is the world's -only United Nations' Cemetery.	0:23:26	0:23:31
-885 of our servicemen -are buried under foreign soil.	0:23:31	0:23:37
-More than 1,000 British soldiers -died, with 200 missing in action...	0:23:39	0:23:44
-..and thousands more wounded.	0:23:44	0:23:48
-Walking around this cemetery and -reading where people were from...	0:23:50	0:23:55
-..in which battalion they were in -and their names...	0:23:55	0:23:59
-..and at the bottom -it says their age.	0:23:59	0:24:02
-19, 18...	0:24:02	0:24:04
-..the youngest was 17.	0:24:04	0:24:06
-Many of them -hadn't lived their lives.	0:24:06	0:24:09
-Seeing photographs -of these young men...	0:24:09	0:24:12
-..frozen in time, knowing they -won't grow old, is heart-breaking.	0:24:13	0:24:18
-Each of those was a decade younger -than my two sons.	0:24:19	0:24:23
-I can't imagine being a parent -receiving the news...	0:24:26	0:24:29
-..that your son has died -in some faraway country.	0:24:30	0:24:33
-I was shot in my shoulder.	0:24:36	0:24:40
-I had a bayonet wound in my stomach.	0:24:40	0:24:43
-I was bleeding so much, -I kept thinking about my mother.	0:24:43	0:24:47
-When I left home, -my father said to me...	0:24:48	0:24:51
-.."If you're wounded...	0:24:52	0:24:54
-.."hit yourself so hard -that you cry."	0:24:54	0:24:58
-"Why's that?" I said.	0:24:58	0:25:00
-He said, -"To rid your body of the shock."	0:25:01	0:25:03
-My mother received a telegram -through the post.	0:25:04	0:25:08
-She started to cry and ran out.	0:25:08	0:25:11
-She read the first line - "Regret -to inform you of report received...	0:25:12	0:25:16
-"..from military authorities..." -It finished her off.	0:25:16	0:25:20
-She ran off and they found her -sobbing at the front gate.	0:25:20	0:25:24
-My father picked up the telegram -and went after her.	0:25:24	0:25:28
-He said, "No, he's been wounded."	0:25:28	0:25:31
-That's how mothers are!	0:25:32	0:25:34
-Meirion was a member of the -Welsh regiment that went to Korea...	0:25:36	0:25:40
-..to relieve the Glosters.	0:25:41	0:25:43
-But what happened -to the Glosters and Kenneth Newby?	0:25:43	0:25:46
-What caused him to commit suicide...	0:25:47	0:25:49
-..when he was -on his way home to his family?	0:25:49	0:25:52

-60 years on from the armistice, it's -hard to believe the war is over.	0:26:03	0:26:07
-Today, a four-kilometre-wide -perimeter separates both countries.	0:26:08	0:26:13
-No Man's Land. The official border -runs through the centre.	0:26:13	0:26:16
-This is the Demilitarized Zone, -regulated by the United Nations.	0:26:17	0:26:22
-This morning -we're visiting Panmunjom...	0:26:24	0:26:27
-..where the -Joint Security Area is located...	0:26:27	0:26:31
-..and where -the armistice was signed in 1953.	0:26:31	0:26:34
-This is the only place...	0:26:34	0:26:36
-..where North and South -meet face to face.	0:26:36	0:26:39
-They say this is the most -dangerous border in the world...	0:26:40	0:26:44
-..and I can well believe it.	0:26:44	0:26:47
-Moving closer to the border -is looking doubtful...	0:26:47	0:26:51
-..since there has been -gunfire all week.	0:26:51	0:26:53
-We still don't know -if we can go there.	0:26:54	0:26:56
-There has been gunfire -as recent as this afternoon.	0:26:56	0:27:01
-OK. Alright.	0:27:07	0:27:08
-It's not looking good.	0:27:09	0:27:11
-They've told us -we can't go in there.	0:27:11	0:27:14
-In light of the gunfire, it's -currently unsafe to go in there.	0:27:14	0:27:20
-They haven't told us either -if we can go there next week.	0:27:20	0:27:24
-There's no certainty at all.	0:27:24	0:27:26
-We won't be -going in there any time soon.	0:27:27	0:27:29
-I wanted to visit Punmanjong.	0:27:30	0:27:32
-I didn't want to see barbed wire, -I wanted to see North Korea.	0:27:32	0:27:36
-Going home without seeing it -wouldn't be a waste...	0:27:36	0:27:40
-..but I wouldn't be happy.	0:27:40	0:27:42
-Korea's a mountainous country.	0:27:48	0:27:50
-South of the border -is a chain of hills...	0:27:50	0:27:53
-..rising from the Imjin River.	0:27:53	0:27:55
-Securing the high ground -was crucial to defend Seoul.	0:27:56	0:28:00
-By 1951, this became the priority -of the United Nations' army.	0:28:00	0:28:04
-As well as facing the North Korean -and Chinese troops...	0:28:05	0:28:08
-..the British were battling against -harsh landscape in extreme weather.	0:28:09	0:28:14
-It's one of -the hottest places on earth...	0:28:15	0:28:18
-..but winter there is brutal.	0:28:19	0:28:22
-You had pyjamas, -long johns on top of that...	0:28:22	0:28:25
-..a smock on top of that...	0:28:26	0:28:28
-..and then -the proper uniform on top of that.	0:28:28	0:28:31
-It was that cold.	0:28:31	0:28:33
-A lad from Swansea -used to bring us tea.	0:28:34	0:28:37
-It was boiling hot.	0:28:37	0:28:39
-He'd put it down on the ground.	0:28:40	0:28:43
-By the time he'd gone to get a -sandwich, the tea had frozen solid!	0:28:44	0:28:48
-We'd venture into the mountains -and dig trenches...	0:28:49	0:28:54
-..where we'd find thousands -and thousands of Chinese bodies.	0:28:54	0:28:59
-It wasn't nice. No, indeed.	0:28:59	0:29:03
-We were plagued -by rats and mosquitos.	0:29:03	0:29:06
-Every night, the mosquitos -would cluster the British soldiers.	0:29:06	0:29:11
-They were bitten -and kept awake all night.	0:29:11	0:29:16
-When the bombs fell, -the Koreans would run for cover...	0:29:16	0:29:20
-..but the British were so brave, -they didn't flinch.	0:29:21	0:29:26
-We learnt a lot from them!	0:29:26	0:29:29
-Haemorrhagic fever -is what scared me.	0:29:30	0:29:33
-There were fleas -living on the rats...	0:29:33	0:29:39
-..and the fleas were responsible -for the haemorrhagic fever.	0:29:39	0:29:43
-The skin cracks and bleeds.	0:29:44	0:29:46
-Where we were stationed, -there was no hope of survival.	0:29:46	0:29:50
-The Chinese had dug-outs -which they used to hide in.	0:29:51	0:29:55
-Of, course, they came out...	0:29:55	0:29:58
-..and caught us.	0:29:58	0:30:00
-They started punching me -about the head, above my eyes.	0:30:00	0:30:04
-While this was happening, -I heard someone talking.	0:30:04	0:30:08
-This lad was saying...	0:30:08	0:30:10
-.."Mother, -put your arms around me...	0:30:10	0:30:14
-"..when I'm a prisoner."	0:30:14	0:30:16
-I thought, who can this be?	0:30:16	0:30:18
-He was an American.	0:30:18	0:30:20
-His family had been over in America -before the First World War...	0:30:20	0:30:25
-..and kept up the Welsh.	0:30:25	0:30:27
-He was beaten every day.	0:30:27	0:30:29
-"If more Chinese come here, -they will kill us all."	0:30:29	0:30:34
-I didn't know what to say.	0:30:34	0:30:37
-But as luck would have it we managed -to kill the two Chinese men...	0:30:37	0:30:42
-..and we got out of there.	0:30:42	0:30:44
-Of all the battles along the border, -the battle of the Imjin River...	0:30:48	0:30:52
-..has become a symbol -of British bravery in Korea.	0:30:53	0:30:56
-It was here that 650 soldiers -from the Gloucestershire Regiment...	0:30:56	0:31:01
-..made their famous stand -against 10,000 Chinese soldiers.	0:31:01	0:31:06
-On 22 April, the Chinese crossed -the Imjin, intent on reaching Seoul.	0:31:09	0:31:14
-Waiting for them -were the Glosters...	0:31:14	0:31:17
-..not that they had much hope.	0:31:17	0:31:19
-They had no help from the air, -they had no bullets.	0:31:19	0:31:22
-As the enemy pushed southwards...	0:31:24	0:31:27
-..the other British troops assisting -the Glosters were forced to flee.	0:31:27	0:31:32
-In the end, the Glosters -were surrounded on Hill 235.	0:31:32	0:31:36
-But they stood their ground -and battled till the end...	0:31:36	0:31:40
-..with only their bare fists.	0:31:40	0:31:42
-Attempts to save them -were in vain...	0:31:42	0:31:45
-..but the Chinese were merciless.	0:31:46	0:31:48
-I think -one of the Americans said...	0:31:50	0:31:54
-.."What the Glosters did -was give us breathing time."	0:31:54	0:31:58
-They managed to regroup -and form another front line...	0:31:58	0:32:02
-..and start pushing them forwards -once again.	0:32:02	0:32:06
-That's why they were so important.	0:32:07	0:32:09
-If the Chinese hadn't -been stalled by the Glosters...	0:32:09	0:32:14
-..South Korea would've fallen and -who knows what would've happened?	0:32:15	0:32:19
-The Glosters battled -for 80 hours, day and night.	0:32:20	0:32:24
-It was a bloodbath.	0:32:24	0:32:26
-622 of them were either dead...	0:32:27	0:32:29
-..wounded or taken prisoner.	0:32:30	0:32:33
-The prisoners were marched -200 miles to Chongsong...	0:32:38	0:32:42
-..one of North Korea's -most notorious prison camps.	0:32:42	0:32:46
-Among them was Kenneth Newby...	0:32:46	0:32:48
-..the man my father -found dead on board the Dunera.	0:32:48	0:32:52
-It's hard for us to imagine -their living conditions.	0:32:52	0:32:56
-No food, no sanitation.	0:32:56	0:32:58
-They also had to live with other -soldiers they thought were friends.	0:32:58	0:33:03
-They might've sold their stories -to get additional food.	0:33:03	0:33:08
-Dysentery, cholera.	0:33:08	0:33:10
-Everybody had head lice and scabies -- they were commonplace.	0:33:10	0:33:14
-So too were roundworms, -which entered the bloodstream...	0:33:15	0:33:18
-..and then into the lungs.	0:33:19	0:33:21
-The only way to get rid of them -was to cough them up.	0:33:21	0:33:24
-These are like fat worms coming -into your mouth time and time again.	0:33:25	0:33:31
-In the West, we tend to think -of prisoners of war...	0:33:33	0:33:37
-..in terms of -the Geneva Convention...	0:33:37	0:33:41
-..where both sides in a war look -after soldiers from the other side.	0:33:41	0:33:47
-We must bear in mind -that those conventions...	0:33:47	0:33:51
-..were enforced -by the imperial powers of the West.	0:33:51	0:33:55
-Many in Communist China wouldn't -acknowledge those conventions.	0:33:55	0:34:00
-It meant that those who run -the prisons didn't acknowledge...	0:34:00	0:34:06
-..that they had -a duty of care to their prisoners.	0:34:06	0:34:10
-There were many forms of torture.	0:34:13	0:34:15
-One was to tie a rope -around the arms...	0:34:15	0:34:18
-..raise them over a beam and tie -the rope around the testicles...	0:34:18	0:34:22
-..before pulling the man -off the floor and leaving him there.	0:34:22	0:34:27
-Another -was to put a man in a cage...	0:34:27	0:34:30
-..where he couldn't -lie down or stand up.	0:34:30	0:34:33
-Torture methods were widespread in -North Korea's prisoner of war camps.	0:34:34	0:34:39
-First they were going to execute me.	0:34:40	0:34:44
-Then they connected electrical wires -to my fingertips - I lost my nails.	0:34:45	0:34:50
-My fingers -are still painful to this day.	0:34:50	0:34:55
-I was shot five times in my arm...	0:34:56	0:35:00
-..and in my lip -so that I couldn't eat.	0:35:00	0:35:08
-I was also shot in my shoulder...	0:35:08	0:35:13
-..but I'm still here!	0:35:14	0:35:16
-When I managed to escape, -I was skeletal, barely alive...	0:35:18	0:35:25
-I'll never forgive them.	0:35:25	0:35:28
-How can you forgive -that kind of treatment?	0:35:28	0:35:31
-Kenneth Newby and two others...	0:35:36	0:35:39
-..managed to escape from prison -but they were caught.	0:35:40	0:35:43
-Their punishment -was to stand on one leg.	0:35:44	0:35:47
-If they fell, they were beaten -until they stood on one leg again.	0:35:47	0:35:51
-They'd fall and were beaten again -until they'd learnt their lesson.	0:35:52	0:35:56
-The Chinese were in no rush.	0:35:57	0:35:59
-It took these three men an -entire month to learn their lesson.	0:35:59	0:36:04
-They had to appear in front of the -camp and admit they'd done wrong.	0:36:04	0:36:09
-But what Newby did -was announce to the entire camp...	0:36:09	0:36:12
-..which way to go -if they ever escaped.	0:36:13	0:36:16
-He was sent back to his cell.	0:36:16	0:36:18
-It's important to remember -that atrocities were committed...	0:36:19	0:36:23
-..by both sides -in the prisoner of war camps.	0:36:23	0:36:26
-The government of the South -conducted official programmes...	0:36:27	0:36:31
-..to try and re-educate prisoners.	0:36:31	0:36:34
-Torture methods and execution -were commonplace in these camps.	0:36:34	0:36:38
-Americans saw themselves...	0:36:39	0:36:41
-..as defending capitalism -against Communism...	0:36:41	0:36:44
-..and Communists -saw prisoners of war as people...	0:36:45	0:36:50
-..who had misunderstood -the political situation.	0:36:50	0:36:53
-They saw the camps as an opportunity -to change their minds.	0:36:53	0:36:58
-One of the unique features -of the war...	0:36:59	0:37:02
-..was the exchange of prisoners -of war during the war itself.	0:37:02	0:37:07
-It's referred to -as Little Switch or Big Switch.	0:37:07	0:37:10
-What we saw here...	0:37:10	0:37:12
-..was both sides agreeing to release -small numbers of prisoners...	0:37:12	0:37:17
-..and then large numbers -in an exchange.	0:37:17	0:37:20
-There was a question mark -over every one of them...	0:37:21	0:37:24
-..about what their intentions were.	0:37:24	0:37:27
-The prisoners of war themselves -became an ideological weapon.	0:37:27	0:37:30
-Sending them back to their -communities after re-educating them.	0:37:31	0:37:35
-The wounded -were released first of all.	0:37:36	0:37:39
-In their midst were people who had -been brainwashed by the North.	0:37:39	0:37:44
-These were among the men my father -carried home aboard the Dunera.	0:37:44	0:37:49
-My father had a small medical unit -on board the ship...	0:37:50	0:37:53
-..for 10 patients -and within 10 minutes it was full.	0:37:54	0:37:57
-Not only did they want to go home...	0:37:58	0:38:01
-..but a few men in the camps had -passed on stories to the Chinese...	0:38:02	0:38:06
-..and the rest wanted revenge.	0:38:06	0:38:09
-The journey home would've been -very awkward for many on board.	0:38:12	0:38:17
-They were all lumped together.	0:38:17	0:38:19
-They would've had -very different experiences of war.	0:38:20	0:38:23
-Some would've been prisoners, some -served miles from the front line...	0:38:24	0:38:28
-..and saw no fighting at all.	0:38:29	0:38:31
-In addition, there were -these ideological tensions...	0:38:31	0:38:35
-..that had developed during the war -about the validity of their cause.	0:38:35	0:38:40
-The free world, as it were, -against the Communist world.	0:38:40	0:38:44
-These British soldiers, some of whom -were 18 or 19 years old...	0:38:44	0:38:49
-..had endured -the worst possible atrocities.	0:38:49	0:38:53
-For some, the voyage home would've -been as torturous as the war itself.	0:38:53	0:38:58
-Many of them would've plummeted -to the depths of despair.	0:38:58	0:39:02
-After weeks of searching, I've found -Kenneth Newby's inquest report.	0:39:02	0:39:07
-What we have here are documents...	0:39:08	0:39:10
-..that would explain -Kenneth Newby's final voyage.	0:39:11	0:39:14
-In his testimony, my father says -he treated him for VD.	0:39:14	0:39:18
-What's interesting for me...	0:39:18	0:39:21
-..is other witnesses' remarks.	0:39:21	0:39:23
-It says here, -"His mind seemed to wander...	0:39:24	0:39:27
-"..and he thought -everybody else was against him."	0:39:27	0:39:31
-He also said there was nothing any -doctor could do for him any more.	0:39:31	0:39:38
-Kenneth Newby was a war hero...	0:39:42	0:39:44
-..among the thousands and thousands -of other heroes.	0:39:45	0:39:50
-How can someone so young get -involved in something like this...	0:39:50	0:39:54
-..go through -what the Glosters went through...	0:39:54	0:39:58
-..and then walk 200 miles -to Chongsong prison...	0:39:58	0:40:01
-..where he was beaten -by the Chinese?	0:40:02	0:40:04
-He escaped but was later caught.	0:40:04	0:40:07
-How could he have gone through -it all and not be affected?	0:40:08	0:40:11

-This is Imjingak Park -on the banks of the Imjin River.	0:40:25	0:40:29
-This is Freedom Bridge, over which -prisoners of war crossed...	0:40:29	0:40:33
-..following the 1953 armistice.	0:40:33	0:40:36
-At first glance -it's a tourist hotspot...	0:40:36	0:40:39
-..but it's also a sanctuary for the -thousands torn apart by the border.	0:40:39	0:40:44
-What strikes me here -is the contrast.	0:40:47	0:40:49
-Essentially, -it's 100 yards of wooden bridge.	0:40:50	0:40:54
-It barely deserves the name -Freedom Bridge any longer.	0:40:54	0:40:58
-At one end, -countless messages from people...	0:40:58	0:41:01
-..longing for the border to open.	0:41:01	0:41:04
-And 20 yards behind it are soldiers -ensuring that it's kept shut.	0:41:04	0:41:09
-At long last, -after a week of waiting...	0:41:09	0:41:13
-..we've been told -we can travel to the border...	0:41:13	0:41:17
-..to the Joint Security Area -to capture a glimpse of North Korea.	0:41:17	0:41:22
-It's interesting, we've followed the -barbed wire all the way from Seoul.	0:41:40	0:41:45
-This is where the wire ends, -at this horizontal line.	0:41:46	0:41:49
-At the top of those steps, -there's a soldier from North Korea.	0:41:49	0:41:53
-They've told me I can't wave, -I can't make any contact.	0:41:53	0:41:58
-That's the border -but nobody can cross it.	0:41:58	0:42:02
-I think surreal is the best term -I can use to describe it.	0:42:07	0:42:12
-We were allowed to film in one area, -we had the story from one side.	0:42:12	0:42:19
-It was almost like going to a zoo.	0:42:19	0:42:21
-Looking through the barrier -at someone else...	0:42:21	0:42:24
-..but not being able -to communicate at all.	0:42:25	0:42:28
-As a communicator, -that is very frustrating.	0:42:28	0:42:32
-We tend to think it's North Korea -that brainwashes people.	0:42:34	0:42:38
-That there's only one way of -thinking, but the South does it too.	0:42:38	0:42:44
-The closer you get to the border, -the more restricted you are...	0:42:49	0:42:53
-..and the less chance there is -to think for yourself.	0:42:53	0:42:57
-I thought the war -was over years ago, but it's not.	0:42:57	0:43:01
-What's interesting, of course, -is that I'm in North Korea here.	0:43:04	0:43:09
-There's no barrier.	0:43:09	0:43:11
-But when I cross the room...	0:43:11	0:43:14
-..I'm in the South.	0:43:14	0:43:16
-One step, but it's been 65 years...	0:43:17	0:43:20
-..and people are still unable -to take that step.	0:43:20	0:43:24
-But if they were to spend -more time in that room...	0:43:25	0:43:28
-..and less time -on the boundary with their guns...	0:43:29	0:43:32
-..maybe they'd come closer together -much sooner.	0:43:33	0:43:36
-Two Koreas, two million soldiers...	0:43:38	0:43:41
-..two nations -that are officially still at war.	0:43:41	0:43:44
-The thought of nuclear weapons in -the North and South is frightening.	0:43:45	0:43:51
-The war still casts a shadow...	0:43:53	0:43:55
-..over the lives -of the people of South Korea...	0:43:56	0:43:59
-..and the younger generation -are determined not to forget...	0:43:59	0:44:03
-..the sacrifice of the soldiers -who fought to secure their freedom.	0:44:03	0:44:08
-Hello, Major Thomas Kenneth Hardy. -I'm Young Sun-Min.	0:44:09	0:44:12
-I'm an 11-year-old girl chasing -meaningful dreams with a compass.	0:44:12	0:44:16
-Although I can't meet you, I'm -very glad to show my appreciation.	0:44:16	0:44:20
-Do you remember Korea at the time -of the Korean War in 1950?	0:44:21	0:44:27
-In the desperate moment of -bullets raining, bombs exploding...	0:44:27	0:44:31
-..and your fellow soldiers -groaning by your side...	0:44:31	0:44:35
-..you never gave up your courage -to treat the wounded soldiers.	0:44:35	0:44:39
-My country thanks you for -your noble sacrifice and courage.	0:44:39	0:44:43
-I'll always remember you and the -brave British Korean War veterans...	0:44:44	0:44:48
-..who fought for South Korea -in our history and in my heart.	0:44:48	0:44:52
-With sincere respect, -Young Sun-Min.	0:44:52	0:44:55
-This is for you.	0:44:55	0:44:57
-This is for you. - -Thank you, and it's on behalf...	0:44:57	0:44:59
-..of all the Korean War veterans.	0:44:59	0:45:01
-..of all the Korean War veterans. - -Thank you very much.	0:45:01	0:45:03
-Emotional. -I wasn't expecting that.	0:45:03	0:45:06
-It's strange how children affect -you. My father will be delighted.	0:45:06	0:45:10
-There was a lot -he didn't receive during the war.	0:45:11	0:45:14
-He didn't get a Korean Star, but he -has a letter now and he'll be happy.	0:45:14	0:45:19
-He'll be thrilled.	0:45:19	0:45:21
-All the children had written letters -to Major Thomas Kenneth Hardy.	0:45:21	0:45:26
-I can't get over being called Major. -I've never been called that.	0:45:26	0:45:30
-Let me finish it off for you.	0:45:31	0:45:33
-We heard -your father didn't have any medal.	0:45:33	0:45:37
-That's beautiful. He will love that.	0:45:37	0:45:40
-Thank you very much. -This medal will take its place.	0:45:42	0:45:45
-He'd prefer this medal -because it's come from you in Korea.	0:45:45	0:45:49
-The last thing -my father told me was...	0:45:49	0:45:53
-.."The one thing I never received -was the Korean Star."	0:45:53	0:45:56
-And he fought to get it.	0:45:57	0:45:59
-Taking something like this home -for him to keep...	0:45:59	0:46:03
-..he'll be delighted.	0:46:03	0:46:05
-I'm looking forward -to seeing him now.	0:46:05	0:46:07
-That's nice. Where is it?	0:46:08	0:46:09
-Well, it's not the Korean Star...	0:46:10	0:46:13
-..but it's from the people of Korea.	0:46:13	0:46:18
-You've finally got your medal -from the Korean War.	0:46:18	0:46:22
-Isn't that lovely? Thank you.	0:46:22	0:46:24
-You'll have us both in tears.	0:46:24	0:46:27
-Thank you, John.	0:46:27	0:46:29
-My father -isn't usually an emotional man.	0:46:36	0:46:39
-After all, he's been -a doctor for almost 50 years.	0:46:39	0:46:42
-But he was moved this morning.	0:46:44	0:46:48
-And the fact that, at last...	0:46:48	0:46:52
-..he's had some sort of recognition.	0:46:52	0:46:57
-Yes, the people of Korea remember...	0:46:58	0:47:00
-..but the British war veterans -have had little recognition.	0:47:01	0:47:04
-Until now.	0:47:05	0:47:06
-The first official memorial -to the Korean War in Britain.	0:47:08	0:47:13
-APPLAUSE	0:47:14	0:47:17
-Today has brought everything back.	0:47:31	0:47:33
-It was nice seeing my father sharing -recollections with the veterans...	0:47:34	0:47:38
-..some of whom were from -the Gloucestershire Regiment...	0:47:38	0:47:41
-..the prisoners of war he -carried home on the Dunera in 1953.	0:47:41	0:47:45
-Many also remembered Kenneth Newby.	0:47:45	0:47:48
-There are -fewer eyewitnesses nowadays...	0:47:48	0:47:50
-..but their sacrifice -should never be forgotten.	0:47:51	0:47:55
-The pieces have fallen into place -and the gaps filled.	0:47:55	0:47:59
-I am more proud than ever.	0:47:59	0:48:01
-At last my father's role in the -forgotten war has been documented...	0:48:02	0:48:06
