A British Army soldier shares his harrowing journey to reunite with his regiment after getting wounded and separated in the Malayan jungles during WWII.
In A Fearful Freedom, author Robert Hammond tells the story of Private E. J. Wright of the 6th Norfolks and his survival behind the lines of Japanese occupied territory during World War II, including his work on the Burma Railway.

Robert Hamond also served in 18th Division and was taken prisoner at the fall of Singapore. He later worked on the notorious Burma-Siam railway where so many died. Thirty years after the war he met Jim Wright and persuaded him to tell this extraordinary story, a story which Jim had not revealed, even to his family.
