Eric Lomax, who died just a year ago aged 93, was starved, viciously beaten and tortured as a prisoner of the Japanese during WW2. Fifty years later, he was to meet his chief tormentor again.
An account of his story published in the Reader’s Digest in 1994 generated such interest that, a year later, he published his own memoir called The Railway Man.
