Carinity aged care resident, Gordon Jamieson, fought with the Australian Army in the Malayan campaign during World War II.
He became a captive of Japanese military forces and was a prisoner of war for three years, contributing to the building of the Thai-Burma railway line.
Gordon, now 100, lives at the Carinity Cedarbrook aged care community at Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast.
He will pay his respects to fallen Australian Army mates at a special Remembrance Day ceremony at Carinity Cedarbrook this morning.
