AC2. Joseph Ignatius Holden

from:Woodplumpton Lodge, nr Preston, Lancs
(d.22nd June 1943)
I found a mass card in my aunt's papers. The card says "Pray for the soul of Joseph Ignatius Holden. R.A.F Youngest son of Mr and Mrs R Holden of Woodplumpton Lodge, nr Preston who died June 22nd 1943 at Haroekoe, Dutch East Indies, while a prisoner-of-war in the hands of the Japanese, aged 21 years". The Holdens were family friends.
