British-born Australian Harry Leslie said that he was lucky to have had a special angel looking over him, which also helped him to survive difficult times at the camps.

Leslie was a tailor when he went to war and he spent three years in various detention camps in Taiwan where he said that Japanese soldiers tried to work him to death. He survived on rice and "pickings," such as snails and tree bark juice.

When Leslie was released in 1945, he was a 43.5kg walking skeleton, about half of what he weighed when he was taken prisoner in February 1942 in Singapore.
