208382 David Johnstone British Army Cameron Highlanders from:27 Fraser Street, Glasgow My uncle, David Johnstone, passed away but this was a small story of his part in WW2. Davie was born in Glasgow, he joined the Cameron Highlanders served through the Middle East and moved up into Mayala. His regiment took a POW camp and captured the Tiger of Mayala. Uncle Davie was on guard duty with his mate "Tex", when the Tiger asked for some water, Davie went and got some water for him. When the Tiger went to take the water, Uncle Davie threw it in his face. Both men were confined to barracks for 1 week, which I guess meant nothing as they where in the miidle of the jungle. When they returned to their own regiment they were given a hero's welcome back, to a man they were cheered back home. On a personal note: what horrors did these men see, they gave us freedom of speech. Gone Uncle Davie but never forgotten.
