@WBittley Faint !

@drkatrina "feign-hearted"

A very short clip from my father Actor Percy Herbert documentary produced by the BBC as he presents a commentary of how he wound up being transported to Changi Prison as a POW after surviving the Alexandra Hospital massacre in Singapore during WW2 - * This is not for the feign - hearted please note * His book Time will Pass Johnny is published June 1st 2026 chiselbury.co.uk/product/time-w…

@WHW_HighlandIC @maureenwrig see what i can do....

@drkatrina @maureenwrig Is the full documentary available anywhere? Would love to see more.

@colin_mayes1 Wow I heard about that - but didn't get to see him how wonderful.

@drkatrina Amazing - and wonderful - that he survived. I was fortunate enough to see him on stage in ‘The Canterbury Tales’ many years later.

@Claramanda06 He had an amazing life albeit shortened sadly by his health conditions from being a POW in Changi - I miss him terribly-

@drkatrina Extraordinary sang froid - made of sterner stuff back in those days. You must be so proud of him. I hope he went on to live a long and happy life.

@JohnIceAgency I 'll see if I can send it - checking

@drkatrina Katrina do you have a link to the documentary?

@WackaDakka Great movie one of my favorites!

@drkatrina great actor , saw him just yesterday in " Sea of sand "

@Charles060558 Yes a certainly did - He was paid an extra 5 pounds from David Lean because he was actually there-

@drkatrina Harrowing story - am I correct in thinking that he later played a POW in The Bridge on the River Kwai?

Being ' of service' and servitude are two very different states of ' being'.

Stunning forward to my fathers book General The Lord Dannatt GCB CBE MC DL. Grateful when those'who comprehend experiences with clarity and depth also write about it. Eternally grateful. A small segment from the forward for Percy Herbert' Time Will Pass Johnny by Lord Dannatt. Pre orders available now.chiselbury.co.uk/product/time-w… ' Percy Herbert is one of the most recognizable and acclaimed film actors of his generation – he seemed to feature in most of the major films made in the 1950s to the 1980s. For the curious who want to know more about him, tapping his name into Wikipedia reveals much about his acting career, preceded by the short statement “Post-war he returned to London.” Incredibly, those few words camouflage the intense experiences that Herbert endured at the hands of the Japanese in Singapore for three and a half torturous years. Surviving those years was the defining prelude to the extraordinary acting career that followed. This important book tells the harrowing story of the unruly amateur boxer from east London who defied the odds to become the much-loved character in so many films.

@VoicesofWW2 The Bridge on the River Kwai

What is the best WW2 movie ever made?

instagram.com/p/DYB-Y50oXL7/ Richard Burton said he read my fathers book in one sitting - and said was not good company for the rest of the evening - He loved this book and said one day this must be published- well the day has arrived. June 1st it will be available on most major outlets

Good enough mothering - What is good enough ? & When Good enough is good.. My new blog take a look drkatrinawood.com/2026/04/29/goo…

Happy Mothers day ....little treats

My fathers book - a must read from POW to a Life in Film, an extraordinary journey of the power of love, will & courage & faith. Time Will Pass Johnny . Actor Richard Burton read this in one sitting as did Sir Roger Moore. quote: the Last 60 pages moved me to tears!

Shame interferes with grieving

Learning how to 'love' is an art , skills often absent for many in childhood. By compassionately recognizing learning about love is a life long journey , some harsh voices can be quietened . How you are supposed to be in the world of intimacy can develop with a bit more compassion for yourself and your loved one .

Narcissism gets a bad wrap... a hot topic these days. There is actually 'healthy narcissism' which can lead to 'unhealthy narcissism' . Stay tuned for latest blog unpacking its confusion & differences ...
