FE POW

[hazel]

Hello my father was a prisoner of war in the Japanese camps, he passed away in 1961, he never spoke much about his time in the Army and recently I have had an urge to retrace his Army career.
To date I have found out that he was in the Royal Engineers then transfered to RASC. The only thing I have at the moment is his service no. 2137728, Dvr. date of capture 15/02/1942. His name was Thomas Mead he was from Lancashire. If anyone new him please get in touch.
