As a Kiwi teenager, I helped build the camps going up to Tom Price, as we laid the train tracks, 12 hours a day seven days a week, all of Europe was turning up to work, I was working on assembling the camps .. tens of thousands of men, speaking every language on the planet, it was a violent mix and completely Lawless….. The flying Dr service was always busy…..
