@mongsley My Dad's cousin never made it back from Singapore unfortunately. He has a name on a memorial over there which is great. Even if there's no one over here (apart from me of course) that knows of him.
@kazzaloveslife I did. It wasn't until i stood back several years later did i realise that i was lucky. The guys that had been involved with her were not hear to tell the tale. I won't speak ill of the dead but she's no longer here either.
