To mark the 63rd anniversary of the end of World War II in Singapore, the Changi Museum yesterday launched a book written by a former prisoner of war (POW).

The book, To Japan To Lay A Ghost, describes Mr Peter Rhodes' enlistment as a gunner in the artillery, the time he spent as a prisoner of war in Singapore and Kyushu and his travels back to Japan to find peace and closure.

Yesterday, Mr Rhodes, 89, presented an autographed copy of his book to President S R Nathan at the Changi Museum.
