Hi Tracey, Cpl J J Barker, 36 Heminsford Road, Cambridge. 2nd Btl. Cambridge Regiment. Cant add much for you, except it appears that he spent his entire POW time in Changi. Most others of the 2nd Cambs were sent to the railroad on 22/10/42, but there is no travel date for John. Against him name is lightly pencilled what may state (unclear) " SF ORD". Maybe, but its only guesswork, the ORD may mean he was working as an orderly with the sick, which may explain why he was not on the train with the rest of the regiment. He also shows up in the 1945 file at time of release, that he was still in Changi.

Norman, ( re Norman Davis ), I dont have anything concerning him at Changi or on the Burma Railroad, but he does show up in the rescue rosters at war-end. Appears to have been liberated from Kobe House in Japan, and probably sailed from Nagoya to freedom. He was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald of 21st September 1945, of suffering from malnutrition.

Hi, I am unsure where to look for my father's information. He has told about his time, but as he was under 18yrs at the time he signed up under an assumed name. One he never really told us. He was a POW in the Japanese coal mines and was there when Japan was bombed. I am wondering if I can tell someone these stories if they can work out who he was. Like a lot of returned soldiers he destroyed his papers etc and refused to have anything to do with the army since. His wife never even knew he went to war for almost 20 years. Until he was recognised by a fellow POW. Sadly Dad died last year. I was just starting to get through to him how proud his grand children were of him. Thanks Robyn

Trying to find out what actually happened to my uncle, Alexander Francis Wilson (possibly known as Frank). His records show he entrained with F Force from Singapore on 23rd April 1943 and then became missing in Siam while POW on 31st May 1943. He was presumed dead.

David (re Henry Ward) i only have 1 Henry ward listed, is yours likely to have lived in Holt, Norfolk. It does not sound like I have the right one as this one went to the Siam railroad. If he was civilian I dont expect I can help.

Hi Mike, looking into my Grandfather who never spoke of his war ordeal to his family.
RAF in WW2, born in Sunderland lived in Newcastle, captured and imprisoned in Japan?
Wondering if you can shed any light on the four years he was missing.
Thanks, Katherine x

Mike

If you are posting for some help, you must supply all the information you can get. If you just supply a name it becomes almost impossible to know where to start. Was he British, or Australian or American etc ?. Was he army or navy or airforce etc ?. Was he military or civilian etc ? Do you know a regiment or service number ?. Did he return home ? Did he mention where he had been ? Have you asked relatives ? The more information you give, the better the chances of getting answers.
