Harry and Socraten look back on their time in the Thai cave. Harry says he can't imagine how you would maintain your morale for more than a day or two. The boys had total faith in their elders to keep them alive, writes Socraten. And they're tough kids from the country who have had a hard upbringing, she adds.
