Q
Is hellfire pass & Australian Memorial included in this tour? Mary - 7 years ago
A
Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum included as following:Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum The Memorial Museum at the Hellfire Pass was built by the Office of Australian War Graves in a joint project between the Australian Government and the Royal Thai Armed Forces Development Command, following a request by the Australian former Prisoners of War (ex-POWs) to establish a site in memory of their "mates" who never returned home. The Hellfire Pass was chosen to be a historical place in the wake of a survey of the abandoned section of the railway undertaken by an Australian engineer who had assisted in the construction of the nearby Khao Laem Dam. The pass is one of the largest cuttings in Thailand and the most difficult section of the entire railway. In addition, it was a group of 400 Australian POWs who commenced work at the cutting on 25th April 1943. They were later supplemented by additional groups, consisting of 600 British and Australian POWs. At that time, the Japanese Army had brought together 61,700 allied POWs and nearly a hundred thousand of forced laborers to construct a railway from Thailand to Burma in a great hurry. The Memorial Museum is a white one-storey building situated above the Hellfire Pass. It covers an area of about 200 sq.m. The exhibition is about WWII in Asia beginning with the first attack of Japan in 1941. The stories of the POWs’ misery and the construction of the railway from Thailand to Burma are also exhibited via personal items of the POWs like letters, clothes and tools. There are also paintings revealing the life of the POWs, their suffering, their illness and the brutality they endured. The exhibition ends with the fact that Japan was defeated and that the POWs received freedom.
