STAFF Sergeant Frederick Bunday's story is straight out of a Boy's Own comic. He was a prisoner of war who survived the Burma Railway during the Second World War and, as you might expect, has many harrowing recollections of those months spent under arrest. Today his son Richard recalls many of those, including the subsequent nightmares. As a Christian, Richard says he forgives those who treated his father so badly, which some might find amazing. But as anti-apartheid activist Alan Paton said: there is only one way in which one can endure man's inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one's own life, to exemplify man's humanity to man.
