Summary

A book created in a WWII prisoner-of-war camp was restored.
The book documented life for prisoners held by the Japanese army.
Peter Moss was speechless after seeing the miraculous restoration.

A poignant artifact from World War II has been expertly restored on the popular television program, The Repair Shop. The item in question is a unique publication titled 'Raggle Taggle,' created by prisoners of war while held in a camp by the Japanese Imperial army.

Peter Moss brought the delicate book, made from mosquito netting, brown paper, and rice glue, to the workshop. His father, Jock Moss, a former Indian Army soldier, was held captive for three and a half years in Taiwan, where he served as the editor for this magazine. Eighty-two years after its creation, the restored 'Raggle Taggle' left Peter in 'wonder.'
