The last thing you expect when you are a prisoner suffering under the brutality of a Japanese prisoner of war camp is a cheerful Christmas card from the management at the engineering factory that you are being forced to work in.
Yet that just what happened to Gunner Ronald Joy in Mukden prisoner of war camp in the winter of 1944.
The management of the Mashu Kosaku Kikai Kabushiki Kaisha factory sent all the workers a card "Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year".
