Month: November 2017

I am completely rebuilding the ‘Death Railway’ website, new design and updating the pages and structure as I originally built these pages in 2001:-

http://www.britain-at-war.org.uk/WW2/Death_Railway

 

Designed a new web site for the ‘Death Railway’, Thailand-Burma Railway.

I built this site in 2001 and placed it in my local site ‘East Anglian Network’ together with historic sites on Norfolk, as my family were driftermen, it did include the men who followed the silver dart (herring).

The site needed a fresh look, it will take a time to re-write the 100 plus pages on the Thailand-Burma Railway but will be worth it:-

Today I have finished Section 1 on the Thailand-Burma Railway (Death Railway) and started going through the camps in that section. It must be born in mind that I originally wrote this 2001. Since then more information has been available:-
