110033 Corporal Peter Johnson British Army REME from:Lowton St Lukes, Lancashire Is there anyone out there who may remember my beloved father, Peter Johnson. He served in the REME during the second world war. Dad had a dreadful time in Burma and only really discussed events with a select few, sadly not his immediate family. My father died three years ago and I know it is rather late, but I would like to know if there is anyone out there who may remember a very handsome, brave man, who suffered malaria, beri beri,dysentry and malnutrition during his captivity, but spent the years after the war trying always bring a smile to everyone's face. I miss him very much and only wish I had asked him for more information during his lifetime. I tried to get his service medals released some years ago but was unsuccessful. I really would appreciate any news. He was born in a small village, Lowton St Mary's, near Warrington, but later lived with my grandparents, following his repatriation, in Lowton St Lukes.He married my mother, Doreen, in 1950 at St Peter's Church, Newton-le-Willows.
