Can you tell us how you met your wife?
00:26
Well, in the camp at Murchison.
00:32
POW camp in the office there. She was a postal clerk actually.
00:42
Was it love at first sight?
00:44
More or less. It was hard to get though.
00:48
Did you have to fiend off a few other fellas?
00:51
Competition.
00:54
And working in a POW camp, we see movies, that sort of thing.
00:57
Australian POW camps were pretty different, weren't they?
01:02
They looked after pretty well.
01:11
Italian.
01:21
Oh yeah, they had proper workshops.
01:29
Had to do something in their spare time.
01:33
And this is pretty clever, this box.
01:37
I guess it's a jewellery box or a keepsake box.
01:40
It's quite secure, isn't it?
01:42
That's right.
01:45
So that would sit in your bookcase, you'd never know.
01:51
Pull that out.
02:00
I'm impressed that you've kept all the bits and pieces.
02:06
I'm just trying to think.
02:09
Pull that one down.
02:13
And that.
02:16
Ta-da!
02:19
That is very impressive.
02:25
Actually, Italian prisons had everything except coffee.
02:31
They couldn't get enough coffee.
