54_THE SANDAKAN DEATH MARCH
In the last days of World War II, the Japanese Imperial Army forced scores of Australian and British POWs to hump supplies through the dense Borneo jungle. Beaten, starved and dehydrated, only a handful survived the horrific march. Sixty years later, with a group of Australian soldiers, Outpost helps bring this little known story to light.
