Living hell: Story of a WWII survivor at the death railway, door Goh Chor Boon, (1999) p. 75: "The last ceremonial spike – gold-plated of course – was hammered into place and the Death Railway became a reality. Comfort women on travelling brothel trains were making 48-hour stops along the line, with the guards – well groomed and washed for the occasion – waiting impatiently for them."
