The play commemorating a ‘terrible history’ that governments ignored

However many in officialdom apparently may. After the warfare, one other survivor, Vivien Bulwinkle, who had survived a bloodbath and who, like a lot of her fellow nurses, had suffered terribly, was pressured to restrict her testimony at a warfare crimes tribunal by authorities embarrassed by their failure to evacuate folks from Singapore. The nurses’ service and struggling have been dismissed by successive Australian governments centered on forging and maintaing commerce relations with Japan. The nurses obtained a pittance in compensation and no pensions and weren’t permitted to march on Anzac Day. Most of them died as forgotten victims of the warfare, affected by PTSD and the bodily aftereffects of their privations.
