231781 Pte Joseph Arthur Morris British Army 6th Btn. Royal Norfolks from:10 Adrian St, Dover, Kent Joe Morris, a Far East PoW, was my dad. Sadly he died back in 1964. I never knew you Dad, as I was only one when you died in a car crash all them years ago. Joe's history has never been told to me. I have only researched Joe in the last two years including is PoW days. It may have been 70 yrs ago, but to me its yesterday today and tomorrow and way into the future. I would just like to add if you research the far east make sure you do it in bits, as all in one go will take its toll on your brain and emotions. RIP Joe Morris - I wish I grew up with you dad instead of this truly painful era of finding your past and my lost love of a father. PS if anyone thinks japan was to long ago now to be fully remembered, just think of the people like myself who would totally disagree.
