1 y separately published work icon Surviving Captivity : The Campaign and POW Diary of Bob Christie : 2/​29th Battalion AIF, 1942-1945 R. W. Christie , John Lack (editor), North Melbourne : Australian Scholarly Publishing , 2010 Z1753807 2010 single work diary

'The survival of Australian prisoners of war by the Japanese has been attributed, variously, to Providence, mateship and just plain luck.

'POW diaries – those remarkable expressions of the will to live – reveal another side to survival.

'Surviving Captivity reveals an intensely personal and private battle, waged with the weapons of faith, hope and love of family.

'Bob Christie enlisted in the AIF in 1940, fought with the 2/29th Battalion in Malaya and Singapore, and was a POW in Changi and Thailand 1942–1945. After the war he dedicated himself to the welfare of veterans and their families. As Hon. Secretary of the 2/29th Battalion AIF Association for more than 60 years, Bob is the acknowledged head of the Battalion family.' (Publication summary)
