This short #documentary honours the #British and #Commonwealth #soldiers who fought, suffered, and sacrificed. Many of whom never returned home. The video features ‘Forbidden Colours’ by Ryuichi Sakamoto, performed by British #Army #musicians and narrated by #Australian #broadcaster and #journalist Colin Tyrus. It reflects on the soldiers’ courage, their endurance in captivity, and the peace that followed. Music once led soldiers through #war; today, British #Army Music remembers those who fell. We are grateful to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for granting access to Brookwood #Military #Cemetery, and to Serena Gear for sharing the story of her #grandfather, a #survivor of the Death #Railway. #BritishArmyMusic #VJDay80 #VJDay #WeWillRememberThem#MerryChristmasMrLawrence
