Sgt. Joseph Tamlyn Staddon
British Army 4th Btn. Royal Norfolk Regiment
from:Islington, London
My father, Joseph Staddon, served in the Far East and was captured in Singapore. He was then put in to the forced labor group no. 4 to build railways (Death Railway) from Wang Pho to Kinsaiyok. He was one of the lucky ones, surviving three and a half years of unspeakable treatment and conditions to make it back to his home and family in London and Devon and soon after moving to Toronto, Canada starting a very successful business. Those POW years were never forgotten and in his latter years, struggling with dementia, he often thought he was still in Japanese captivity.
