A Flag Change

[Lou Barron]

Our NZ Government is now talking about a flag change so I have sent a EM to our local Newspaper protesting about it would mean the loss of our Red Ensign and the loss in historical significance to all those people who help to make this country I hope that they do not change it

[happy daze john in oz]

It has raised it's head again here in Oz, those who want to chnage the flag often thinking that by doing so they can change history.

hi lou. iwouldn't like to see it change but do like the fern, so how about adding that to it so youwould have something similar to the large oz star.

recently saw a film. King Rat all about POW's in changi

There is always a ball bag somewhere. If it aint broke dont try and fix it.

I did suggest that a silver fern on the current flag would be ideal7.As regards to the movie King Rat I have never seen it if its a American one it would be something

[alf corbyn]

no lou king rat is english with an american leading actor and is in black and white. did they really have electric light, mosquito nets, morphine and lots of chickens. a bit over the top i think

[Lou Barron]

Not in the Changi Jail I was in we never had mossy nets as for chicken we never had

[robpage]

A visit to the Changi Museum and chapel was upsetting to m , My dad , a marine at the relief would never talk about what he saw , a visit to t museum told me why , the photos and history made me sick to the stomach . Shame the Americans missed the truth again

[Lou Barron]

if anybody wants to see what it was like in Changi Jail if you go to Singapore go to Sentzo island they have a good museum there ,but has I have said before nothing can be said what it was really like

If in Thailand go to Kanchenbury on the reiver Kwai and see the museum there along with the grave yard, I defy even the strongest person to leave there without a tear in their eye. I have seen grown men fall to their knees crying when they look at what is there.
