Bridge over the River Kwai
Yesterday, due to Covid19 parades and gatherings not being permitted. a select few laid a wreath at the local war memorial commemorating the 75th anniversary of victory over Japan, the end of WWII. Contemplating this event on Sunday I thought that I would brush off the metaphorical dust from a photo album recorded during my visit to Thailand and update my blog. The event was a train journey over the "Bridge over the river Kwai", and visits to the museum and war graves there on 28th January 2015. The memorial shown is located in the Kanchanaburi War Graves Cemetery, Thailand. Hayling Island has a similar monument near St Mary's Church. I had completed my journey around the country and returned to Bangkok but was determined to visit this location before flying back to South Africa. I will fill in the gaps later perhaps completing all of my blogs (don't hold your breath!). Three trains a day make the journey from Kanchanaburi over the bridge up to Tham Krasae Bridge. T
