LAC Cyril Peacock MID
Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve
from:Berry Croft, Willingham, Cambs
I know very little of my father, Cyril Peacock's wartime service in the Royal Air Force. As is common with many of his fellow servicemen, he was reluctant to talk about his experiences.
I do know that he was Mentioned In Despatches for distinguished service, and his name was published in the London Gazette on 1st of January 1946. I have his certificate and bronze oak leaf.
He was evacuated after the fall of Singapore, and his troopship was torpedoed. He and his brother who was with him, survived and later made their way back to Singapore to search for another of their brothers who had served there, but found he had sadly died in Changi prison.
