But, he made a friend out there called Konrad Kowalski and they wrote to each other after the war. In the 50s he was posted to Malaya to fight yet another war in the Kuala Lipis jungles he survived that one as well but, sadly died in 1968 suffering a Coronary thrombosis If anyone knew of him or heard of him from any relatives who served in that camp, I would love to hear from you.
