Posted on: 04 October 2005 by babycreina

Hello, My dad was in the R.A.M.C. and if my memory serves me right worked in the Alexandra at the Fall of Singapore. He was taken P.O.W.My mother had escaped on "The Duchess Of Bedford". He remained on as a career soldier after the war. Does anyone recall Herbert William Marshall in Changi? He was in the ranks at the time of the Japanese invasion.
