Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi pukapuka o te wā o Wikitoria e whakamārama ana i ngā mahere ki te hanga i tētahi rārangi tereina ki Burma i kitea i roto i te whare pukapuka whaiaro o Eric Lomax, te rangatira hōia o Roto i te Raki i mōhiotia ai ko te Railway Man, kei te hokona tahi me ngā whakaahua o te Gold Coast Railway o Awherika ki te Uru e hangaia ana.
