WWII veteran in Ealing breaks silence over his time in brutal Japanese prison

A 95-year-old war veteran who has lived in Ealing for more than 40 years, has spoken of his time as a prisoner of war during the Second World War for the first time.

David Gibson, who lives with his wife in Clarendon Road, survived three and a half years held as a prisoner of war of the Japanese Imperial Army.

He was only 20 when he joined the army in 1940, and left for Singapore two years later. (Courtesy of getwestlondon.co.uk)
