1)We chose Elizabeth Choy because, She is a war heroine with a very kind heart. when given the chance to execute those who have tortured her,she said no because she said "if not for war,they would be just like me, They would be at home with their family, doing just ordinary things and peaceful work.Im sure that when you are given the chance,you would have executed the japanese - but she did'nt and that proves she is very forgiving.(after world war two)
2) She gave food and medicines to the prisoners. when caught in the act and after 200 days of torturing, the Japanese found her useless so they let Elizabeth Out of the prison. After the war finishes. She said " I don't hate the Japanese, I just hate the war."That proves that she is indeed a war hero with a very kind heart. she also have qualities like selfless,fortitude and valour.(before world war 2)

Mrs Choy worked at Dieppe Barracks for many many years with the NZ Soldiers stationed there...probably early 1970's till the end, in 1989. She was affectionate known as mumma "Sow Sow"....she was the ONLY lady/female who was allowed into the men's barracks-!! she would wonder around the floors calling "sow sow"..."sow sow", and for a small fee she would sew back on lost buttons and make small repairs to our uniforms. She was a legend amongst us as we all knew the history of her bravery. Lest we Forget. Never forgotten by the boys of 1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment.
