Darky was his nephew, but he didn't know that at the time. He sacrifices Darky for the medicine, and Darky dies. When Darky Gardiner is beaten by camp guards, Dorrigo approaches to help, but as he tries to help free Darky, the guards make him an offer-either he can help Darky, or he can let them beat Darky in exchange for quinine, a drug that could save other prisoners.

He personally mourns each and every death in the camp. Dorrigo is a doctor with surgical experience, so he quickly rises in rank among the prisoners until he is a commanding officer in the POW camp. The Koreans and Japanese share their war camps, so there are both Korean and Japanese soldiers working as guards. Shortly after his deployment to Japan, Dorrigo is taken prisoner. But he has his affair with Amy anyway, because after all, he is in the military and he is to be shipped to Japan soon. Dorrigo doesn't know that Amy is actually married, to his uncle Keith no less. The truth is that Dorrigo really loves another girl, Amy. Written by people who wish to remain anonymousĭorrigo Evans is an Australian doctor who has found himself accidentally engaged to Ella Lansburg-he didn't mean to propose, but she got excited in a misunderstanding.
