My brother and I were aware of the existence of our parents' letters as they had for many years been stored in a well used damp garage. Upon our parents death the family papers were entrusted to Dennis' care and upon investigating a small old cardboard suitcase held together by a dilapidated pair of tights these letters and cables were found; the photographs being in a family album were better protected and survived also.

George and his family were posted to Singapore in 1938 where he was commissioned as a Lieutenant (Quarter Master), in December 1941. As a resul
