It's been 75 years since Australia's largest prison escape attempt took place during the Second World War. Australians and Japanese have gathered at the former site of "Prisoner of War Camp 12" in the town of Cowra in New South Wales, to commemorate the night when hundreds of Japanese P-O-Ws attempted their mass break.
