L脿rach Cogaidh - Loidhne-r猫ile Burma

Fianais bho feadhainn dha na bha a' togail a r猫ile ann am Burma an 脿m an D脿rna Cogaidh. First-hand accounts from some of those who were POWs building the Burma Railway during WW2.

Am measg slighean-r猫ile an t-saoghail, tha aona rathad-r猫ile ann a dh霉isgeas smuaintean, chan ann idir air b貌idhchead an t-slighe, ach air ceistean fada nas duirche, mar, d猫 cho suarach is cho br霉ideil 鈥榮 as urrainn do mhac an duine a bhith do a cho-chreutair a tha e a' faicinn mar n脿mhaid?

'S e sin am Burma Railway, rathad-r猫ile a chaidh a thogail aig 脿m an darna cogaidh eadar Thailand agus Burma. Tha e mu 250 m矛le de dh'fhaid. Ach is e pr矛osanaich-cogaidh a chuir arm Iapan a' s脿s anns an obair seo. Cha tug iad ach beagan a bharrachd air bliadhna ris, a' dol tro choilltean fliuch le teas is buige, tarsainn aibhnichean is tron chreag. Bha c貌rr agus 600 drochaid aca ri thogail, mar eisimpleir agus chaill na m矛ltean am beatha ag obair air leis an droch laimhseachaidh a fhuair iad bho saighdearan Iapan.

Am measg an fheadhainn a fhuair air iad fh猫in a chumail beo tron uabhas seo, 鈥榮 a thug cunntas dhuinn air an eachdraidh, bha Donnchadh MacRisnidh, Donnchadh Shake 脿 Suaineabost Nis, agus Calum Macle貌id, Calum Dh貌mhnaill Iain 脿s Ard 脌saig sna Hearadh, a bha le ch猫ile anns na Argylls.

Tha D貌mhnall Mac a' Ghobhainn a' toirt thugainn na sge貌il.
