## Resource

A forgotten piece of WWII history has surfaced beneath Thailand’s Vajiralongkorn Dam—Nithe Station, a grim relic of the Death Railway. Built by Allied POWs and Asian laborers under horrific conditions, the railway claimed thousands of lives. Now, as the reservoir drains for maintenance, historians and researchers are racing against time to study the exposed site before rain returns. For some, like Martyn Fryer, whose grandfather died building the railway, it’s a deeply personal pilgrimage. The discovery has also sparked public fascination, with social media amplifying calls to remember the suffering and sacrifice of those buried beneath the water.
