The 1968 London to Sydney Marathon
On November 24, 1968, more than 250 people from 19 nations set off on a 10,000-mile endurance rally from London to Sydney.

"All Men are Brethren" describes conditions at each Scots POW depot and describes in vivid detail the distinctive world of the prisoners - including how they passed their years of captivity, their food and drink, clothing, quarrels, health and sickness, deaths and burials, contacts with home and with Scots civilians, escapes and their eventual repatriation."--BOOK JACKET.
