Last year I got an email from Cole Gill, his grandfather had made a number of tape recordings recounting his experiences during the war serving on the Royal Navy ship HMS Exeter, then as a POW at the Fukuoka camp,where he witnessed the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki.
Who wouldn't be interested in that story?
Cole sent them over and after listening to them they've been languishing in my virtual bottom draw on my computer, awaiting for me to have some inspiration.
Well I've got them out, dusted them down and what I have for you is the story of Raymond Fitchett.
It's a big thank you to Cole Gill for sharing these recordings.
