Fantastic. I am thankful for the opportunity to hear these stories. I am honestly surprised there is not more people watching this

I was sent by a comment on reddit. If it hasn't been already, I recommend posting one of these to to r/videos or another sub.

I was so touched, to hear Mr Jeremiah share his memories, they went through much pain, so much so the little pleasures or relationships, are so greatly embraced....compared to this generation, thank you again RAGE....for going the extra mile.

So heart-warming that he went back to search for his wife in Bangkok post war..

What a lucky chap. He could’ve been slaughtered for being a guerilla even as a kid but ended up working for the Kempeitai? And Thai-Burma railway was a place countless were tortured and starved to death but yet he found his missus there? Lol. Reading his life story made me wonder if life is really pre-planned.
