You'll be glad to know
that the completion...
:55:06
...of this link in the railway...
:55:09
...will enable us to transport
the sick and disabled...
:55:12
...to the new camp by train.
:55:17
Colonel Saito has kindly
permitted me to stay behind...
:55:20
...with Major Clipton
and the sick men...
:55:22
...and we'll rejoin you
in a few days' time.
:55:27
Now that your work here is finished...
:55:31
...I suppose many of you
feel somewhat let down.
:55:35
That's quite understandable.
:55:38
It's a very natural reaction.
:55:42
But one day, in a week,
a month, a year...
:55:46
...on that day when, God willing,
we all return to our homes again...
:55:50
...you're going to feel very proud
of what you've achieved here...
:55:55
...in the face of great adversity.
:55:59
What you have done should be...
:56:02
...and I think will be...
:56:04
...an example to all our countrymen,
soldier and civilian alike.
:56:10
You have survived with honour.
:56:13
That, and more.
:56:16
Here in the wilderness...
:56:19
...you have turned defeat
into victory.
:56:25
I congratulate you.
:56:27
Well done.
:56:33
To the king.
