Hi, I'm looking for any info on my great uncle Stanley ,

He was in Japanese pow camp and was transferred to the ballale Island,
I believe they were forced to construct some project,after they had served their purpose they were killed,
There is some info on the Internet about them,
The 600 gunners, but nothing of how Stanley had died and where he was buried along with the other men.
There is a book about it too,
What price bushido,
And kill the prisoners.
Is there any way to find out more info on him ?
Thanks

Hi Toni.

Launceston, Tasmania

Hallo, my father's best friend was Clem Kent, who lived in Devonport prior to WW2 and returned there after the war.
Clem and my father (Arthur Keeling) were in the Scouting movement together, as leaders and went to Scout Camps and jamborees etc.
Clem was a prisoner of war at a Japanese prisoner of war camp, and I do not know which one. He is deceased, and his widow, Rhyllis, Avis Kent, died in May 2015 at Devonport.
Can you give me any more information about which camp he was in, and any other details.

thank you kindly, Toni Keeling

Thank you Mike for the information you have given me about my great uncle Peter. He was a loyal genuine man, with a stronge personality, which no doubt got him through the horrendous years he served as Japanese prisoner of war. We owe a lot to these brave men and woman, who gave up so much for us. To all past and present members of the armed services I give you my utmost respect.

Hi Mike, My research of nine years has been dedicated to the Beds and Herts and still continuously learning. I have some detail on other Regiments, but not so in-depth. Regards Martyn.

Hi Colin and Mike, Yes I can add some more information about 5955525 Cpl. Frederick Cecil Carter and delighted since I have an account written by him relating to his transportation and time in Japan. Cpl. Frederick Carter was attached to D Company (Beds and Herts), Occupation Builders Clerk. Following the surrender of Singapore he was initially imprisoned at Roberts Barracks and then from April 42, at Sime Rd camp. He was transported to Thailand on 17/10/1942 (according to his IJA card) (1st Bukit Timah party) in a party of 63 Bedford
