When Australian troops were captured by the Japanese, Weary and his men became Prisoners-of-war and were forced to build a railway through the jungles of Thailand. The living and working conditions were horrific. Throughout the darkest days on the Burma-Thailand Railway, Weary Dunlop was a becon of hope for his fellow prisoners and saved many lives.
