Survivor on the River Kwai Stockists

Survivor on the River Kwai is the heartbreaking story of Reg Twigg one of the last men standing from a forgotten war. Called up in 1940 Reg expected to be fighting Germans. Instead he found himself caught up in the worst military defeat in modern British history - the fall of Singapore to the Japanese. What followed were three years of hell moving from one camp to another along the Kwai river building the infamous Burma railway for the all-conquering Japanese Imperial Army. Some prisoners coped with the endless brutality of the code of Bushido by turning to God; others clung to whatever was left of the regimental structure. Reg made the deadly jungle with its malaria cholera swollen rivers lethal snakes and exhausting heat work for him. With an ingenuity that is astonishing he trapped and ate lizards harvested pumpkins from the canteen rubbish heap and with his homemade razor became camp barber. That Reg survived is testimony to his own courage and determination his will to beat the alien brutality of camp guards who had nothing but contempt for him and his fellow POWs. He was a risk taker whose survival strategies sometimes bordered on genius. Reg's story is unique. Reg Twigg was born at Wigston (Leicester) barracks on 16 December 1913 just a few months before the outbreak of the First World War. After the war Reg worked as a warehouseman until retirement cycling twenty miles daily to Leicester. He still lives in Leicester and with his family he visited the sites of the POW camps in Thailand in 2006.
