Pte. Thomas Lee

British Army 1st Btn. Manchester Regiment

from:Burnley

(d.12th Oct 1943)

I never knew Thomas Lee as he died before I was born. He was the husband of my aunt Alice. They were married in 1938 and had a daughter, Margaret. He joined the 1st Battalion, Manchester Regiment in 1940. The Battalion was sent to Singapore. He was reported missing in action in 1942. Aunt Alice did receive a card from him in July 1943. He had been captured at the fall of Singapore and was in a Japanese POW camp. Unfortunately that was the last they heard about him until the end of the war. The War Office informed my aunt that he had died on 12th of October 1943. He was buried in Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery, Myanmar.
