I remember totallydeadmailbox(a)yahoo.co.uk (The Older Gentleman) saying something like: >Indeed. And at least I managed to get her reminiscences onto video last >year. Good man. The Imperial War Museum would be *very* interested in having a copy. My mate's Dad was a PoW of Nippon and some twenty five years ago recorded all of his recollections on tape for them, at their request. Somebody there was on the ball and realised the Forgotten Army vets were starting to die off and it was time to get as many as possible to spill what they could. Interestingly, in a massive book on Far Eastern PoWs I read a credit to him in the index - along with hundreds of others, of course. I think the research material for the book was done by listening to many of those tapes, among other sources and personal interviews.

I know the hard way that was necessary, but it was easy to put back.

Sorry to hear about your losses. Time can never heal that sort of pain.
