241226 Pte. James O'Mahony British Army Hertfordshire Regiment from:Cork City, Ireland My great uncle James O'Mahony (spelled O'Mahoney on his records) was originally from Cork City Ireland. He was living in London before the war and joined the Hertfordshire Regiment during WW2. He joined up with three of his brothers. All four brothers survived the war. James was posted to Singapore and was captured by the Japanese. We do not know the full extent of his ordeal but we believe he was one of the many put to work on the Burmese railway. Afterwards he was moved to Northern Japan where he was a slave labourer in a Mitsubishi lead and tin mine at a POW camp called Sendai Number 3. He was rescued by the US Navy towards the end of 1945 after the Japanese surrendered.
