A former Scots Guard who may be the last survivor of the torpedoing of a Japanese prisoner-of-war ship, has spoken about the horrific truth behind the incident in which nearly 1000 PoWs were killed.
Today is the 70th anniversary of the sinking of the Lisbon Maru and Dennis Morley, 92, has told his own story in a new book.
Mr Morley was one of nearly 2000 British and Canadian prisoners on the Japanese cargo ship when it was sunk off the Chinese coast. It was taking the men who had been captured after the surrender of Hong Kong to work in Japan.
