My great grandfather never fought the Japanese, though he did fight the Germans the Italians and the Arabs. i remember my great grandfather did say before he died that "dont think it was just the germans that did bad things, we did it aswell. War changed me and my mates". Well that chilled me when he said that.......but in fierce combat, hand to hand fighting i spose that maybe some rules of war are forgotten. My Great Uncle Cyril however, he did fight the Japs in Burma and he hated them deeply....no doubt he did some terrible things...i dont know of any POWs being shot but i do have a knife that he killed a Jap with
