I am looking for a copy of "The Furlough Men" which details men, who after the second world war were treated as deserters. They had served their country, gone home, then the government decided, "Hey let's send them back" . This was mainly in New Zealand. Elderly soldiers talk of the ship "Waikato" pulling into the wharf, not letting any of the men off the ship, and sailing back to the middle east, where many of those who had survived the war, were killed!. It was all kept quite hushed up after the war, but this book details what happened and some of my father's regiment are named. Any help or knowledge of this happening would be great. |
