"The museum was excellent and very informative. It gave a great incite on how the POW's were treated and the great sacrifice they made, I could not begin to imagine how they endured those harsh conditions. Walking down the cutting towards the pass was a very humbling experience for me to visit such a..." historic place and I was very glad that I made the effort to see it.

"It's not a huge place but it certainly does contain a lot of information and you could easily spend a couple of hours there if you were to take it all in properly. The exhibits are well thought out and very informative. You certainly leave with a real sense of just what those poor men went through d..."uring that time which was special for me as my uncle was a survivor of it.
You can see that this is a real labour of love for the gentlemen who have assembled all of this information and I congratulate them on their results

"The beauty of this place is in stark contrast with its' sadness. Imagining the suffering of those poor souls is a terrible thing to contemplate but it must be done so as to not forget them.
The War Graves Commission and the local grounds keepers do a wonderful job in providing a beautiful final r..."esting place for those who fell.
