About Hellfire Pass


              The cutting know as Hellfire Pass is the longest and one of the deepest  along the entire length of the railway. It was also notorious as one of the worst places of worst places of suffering on the Burma-Thailand railway.
             The cutting was planned by Japanese engineers and was to be cut using manual  labour. In face ,there were two main cuttings at Konyu – a shorter one of 73 metres  length and about 25 metres deep and  a longer cutting  about 450 metres long and 8 metres deep.
             The cutting here was know by several names ,originally Konyu Cutting and then later variously  'Hammer and Tap' because of the constant sound of  'hammer and tap' crews drilling holes for explosives and the now better known Hellfire Pass ,so named after the prisoners of war were kept working long into the night by the lights of fires and torches.
