Hi Kyt,

Would this of been H.M.S. Sultan? I have a casualty on my books that says he died the day after the fall of Singapore and i have read that that the Japanese killed all the wounded which makes me think this is what happened to Stoker 1st Class Thomas James Evans. He has no known grave and is remembered on Portsmouth Naval Memorial. Any ideas?
I gather that the Japanese used this base as a stepping stone for taking a lot more of the islands in the Pacific.
Great pics and always read your posts as they are always informative.
Mike
