    2000 Canadians vs

    52,000 Japanese soldiers

    They were trained...

    They were prepared

    They were ready

    They were organized

    We were not

    We fought

    But did not succeed.

    We became POWs

    We suffered

    And we starved

    267 Canadian POWs dead

    So what did Canada gain from this war?

    Nothing
