Wartime survival story brought to Loch Leven Community Library
A powerful and thought-provoking memoir of World War Two survival will be the subject of the next author talk at Loch Leven Community Library on Thursday 22nd March 2012.
Alistair Urquhart will speak about his book 'The Forgotten Highlander', telling the incredible tale of his time in the Far East as a member of the Gordon Highlanders regiment. Conscripted into the army, Alistair was captured by the Japanese forces at the fall of Singapore. Initially held as a prisoner of war in the infamous Changi jail, he was then sent to labour on the Burma Road railway before finally being freed.
The talk is aimed at young adults and adults generally and should be both inspiring and interesting to all who attend.
The event begins at 7.00pm on 22nd March and lasts approximately one hour. Tickets are available now, priced at £5.00 each, in person from Loch Leven Community Library, by calling 01577 867205 or by emailing
