Able Sea. Kenneth Hughes

Royal Navy HMS Thracian

from:10 North Terrace, Blean Clydach, Glamorgan

My father, Kenneth Hughes served in the Royal Navy on the Tracian in Hong Kong in 1941. He was on board Christmas day when Hong Kong fell. He was a PoW in Sham Shui Po Camp and was then transported on the Lisbon Maru when the ship was hit by friendly fire. My father was in the water for days. He was one of the lucky survivors. He was recaptured and sent to Japan. The camp in Japan was Osaka 1B. He was liberated on 8th of September 1945.
