While organising some papers I found this copy of the September 1945 letter to mum advising her that dad had been freed from the Japanese Prisoner of War camp. Even though it's almost 80 years ago, I've obscured a few details.

@palousegeo I really don't know, and now have no way of knowing.

@Miraz In any event it must have been an incredible relief. What a great piece of family history.

@palousegeo At some point we kids of the PoWs received a modest payout from the British Government too.
