AASU's
Hall to lecture on The Death Railway: The Bridge over the River Kwai
Revisited
Savannah,
GA—The Bangkok to Burma Railway, also known as the Death Railway,
was begun in 1943 and completed in less than two years. This fast
completion brought a staggering price as thousands of Allied POW's
and Asian conscripted workers lost their lives.
Michael
R. Hall, assistant professor of history at Armstrong Atlantic State
University, will lecture on The Death Railway as part of the Robert
Ingram Strozier Faculty Lecture Series on October 16. The lecture
will begin at 12:15 P.M. in room 156 of AASU's University Hall. It is free and open to the public.
Hall
will provide period and contemporary photographs, as well as his own
first-hand observations formed on his recent journey along the infamous
railway.
