If captured @ the fall of Singapore{With the Suffolks;TA;?}
Hello Mate! I thought you'd help out here, for some reason.

Many thanks for confirming what I suspected.

Yes, Percy was in the 5th Suffolks, but he lived in Southall, Middlesex and wasn't in the Army before the war. A bit like my grandfather who also lived in Southall and ended up in the 5th Beds and Herts.

Once again,
Cheers
