His dad's WW II diary was brought to life through music | The Moment

The Immobile Choir completed a music play that relates to my father, Ken Irwin. His diary that he kept when he was in prison camp in the Second World War. I can show you a little picture of it, if you will. And his penmanship was just incredible. This was his life for his POW time in Germany. January 18th. Awakened at 3.30 a.m. by the Germans in a panic. He wanted to be a pilot. He joined the war late. He lost a lot of his buddies, his Lancaster plane. He was a bomb aimer. But then we think about our guys left behind. Will they survive? We had a chap who was playing my dad and singing and songs that reflected the hardship that he was going through, but also what he was yearning for, like for home and freedom. Absolutely phenomenal. It is phenomenal. A big thank you to reporter Andrew Lupton who connected us with Barry and Barry says that his dad kind of kept this diary secret until his dying days. He's been through it. Some stories will stay in the diary because some of them are just too tough. His dad might have had some survivor's guilt.
