Scott is recalling the jubilation of witnessing 40kg drums of food being dropped from US aircraft into the Japanese prison camp he’d lived in for the past three years. Tins of apricots and pears were a welcome sight after years of starvation. Fruit had never tasted so sweet, and neither had the hope that was finally realised on VJ day.
