This clip was altogether remarkable in that it poignantly illustrated Vicarious Sacrifice in a manner that was of the highest cinematic quality.

According to the website of Paul Adams (www.pauladams.org), who met and interviewed Ernest Gordon, "Two weeks before the end of the war, Dusty was nailed to a tree and disemboweled by a Japanese guard that was flustered because Dusty would never break, and never anger. This made the Japanese guard "lose face"." This story was omitted from Gordon's book 'Miracle on the River Kwai' as the editors felt it would be too difficult for readers.
