Hi,
Re:James King, 975157. Royal Artillery.

I'm hoping to begin researching my Grandfather's (sadly long passed away)
experiences prior to and as a Japanese Prisoner of War.

I know he was captured at the Fall of Singapore, worked on the Burma Railway, was sent to Japan on a hells ship that was torpedoed, picked up and I see him then on the roster for Fukuoka 25 Omuta.

I'm keen to fill in the details around this and any advice on the best way to do so would be greatly appreciated.

Hi John,

I am researching with the permission of the family
a Albert Edward Benjamin Hall of the 148th royal artillery. I am aware of his movements up to the fall of Singapore and from his rescue from the sea by an American sub. But I have no information on his movements during the building of the railway or what camps he was in,, other than he started in the Red Valley Road camp. Any info would be appreciated. John
