I would be grateful for any information on 2nd Lt Alan Littlewood Capstick EC 2378 2/9 Gurkha Rifles captured on 15 Feb 1942,at the fall of Singapore. I have bits of information from the Ancestry website which says he was a POW in Thailand during the war and liberated on 2 September 1945, camp TH. Also from Ancestry is that on the 5 November 1942 he was at OL 17, in 1944 his former camp was recorded as M-7-145 and the remarks section on this form was M17/11/12.

In the final days before the Fall of Singapore most were hospital orderlies at Singapore General Hospital.
