A quick reminder that our April #HuttedHistories talk is this coming Wednesday, 22nd April, at 7.30pm. It’s my turn to be the speaker so I will be talking about… ‘A Very Different War - Suffolk Soldiers in the Far East’ It is now over 80 years since VJ Day and the Second World War will soon have slipped from living memory. Many of the campaigns and battles of 1939-45 are firmly etched into the national conscious, but the story of the war in the Far East, and in particular the disastrous campaign in Malaya, are not so well known. The suffering of those who were captured at Singapore in February 1942, and the cruelty endured by them in captivity, should be much more widely known. Many servicemen, servicewomen and civilians were captured after the Fall of Singapore, but East Anglia suffered disproportionately so it is appropriate that the story is told through a Suffolk perspective. With anecdotes and artefacts from many of the Far East Prisoners of War that he knew, Taff tells their stories and reminds us why we must not forget. Many local people will have relatives who served with the 4th or 5th Suffolks, 1st or 2nd Cambridgeshires or the other units of the 18th Division. Do come along and share your stories.
