Cpl. James Hammond
British Army 2nd Btn Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (Princes Louise)
from:Paisley, Scotland
My Father James left Madras, India in 1939 on the ship S.S.Egra, arrived Singapore. He played a part as did many soldiers in Malaya.
He was listed as missing in 1942 but turned up as a POW in Kuala Lumpur and then in Thailand. He is mentioned in the Aitken's Diary
Sadly many POW's never spoke too much about the experiences. My Father was no diferent. I only wished that I had asked before his death in 1982
