This relates to my wife's Uncle Charles Frederick George Greenway Service Number 1107750, 80th Anti Tank Regiment , Royal Artillery. I have done some initial research and have obtained his Liberation Questionnaire and a copy of his Japanese Index Card. The information that I have obtained was that he was captured during the fall of Singapore and he was in the following Camps; Changi to June 1942 Non Pladuk to September 1942 Tamarkan [ Kwai Bridge ] to July 1943 Kanyu to November 1943 Tarsoa to April 1944 Nakom Paton to August 1945 It appears that his final camp was Prachuab Kirikhan, this was a camp to which lots of men ex Thai Burma Railway from Nakom Paton were moved. They were working on the Mergui Road. Many who had survived on the railway died here. Charles and his Regiment were sent to Gourock , North of Glasgow and embarked on the troopship RMS SCYTHIA, in addition his battery [ 272 ] were on SS Johan de Witt. Any other information would be gratefully received.
Attached is the entry on the RA Master Roll showing he left for the Thai Burma Railway OVL (Overland) on 20/6/42. You should contact the very helpful Thai Burma Railway Centre who will be able to provide more info.

Afternoon, I've had a quick look on Fold3 and there appear to be several different sets of PoW lists, hopefully some of these links will help: WO 361 Casualities and Missing Personnel 1939-1945 (2196: Prisoners of War, Far East: British POWs in Thailand & Saigon as of August 1945; Nominal Roll) - https://www.fold3.com/sub-image/634972702?terms=1107750,greenway WO 361 Casualities and Missing Personnel 1939-1945 (1954: Prisoners of War, Far East: Thailand POW Camp, Name List, as of 1 November 1944; Volume I) - https://www.fold3.com/sub-image/634703069?terms=1107750,greenway WO 361 Casualities and Missing Personnel 1939-1945 (1979: Prisoners of War, Far East: Thailand POW Camp; Name List, as of 1 November 1944; Volume 1) - https://www.fold3.com/sub-image/634765473?terms=1107750,greenway WO 345 Japanese Index Cards of Allied POWs 1942-1947 (21: Japanese Index Cards of Allied Prisoners of War and Internees, World War II: Goodwin-Griffin) - https://www.fold3.com/file/1015.140...oners-of-war-1939-1945?terms=1107750,greenway UK, WWII, Daily Reports: Missing, Dead, Wounded and POWs, 1939-1947 (13 Oct 1942) - Greenway, C F G in UK, WWII, Daily Reports: Missing, Dead, Wounded and POWs, 1939-1947 - Fold3 UK, WWII, Daily Reports: Missing, Dead, Wounded and POWs, 1939-1947 (15 Feb 1942) - Greenway, C F G in UK, WWII, Daily Reports: Missing, Dead, Wounded and POWs, 1939-1947 - Fold3 UK, WWII, Daily Reports: Missing, Dead, Wounded and POWs, 1939-1947 (17 Oct 1945) - Greenway, C F G in UK, WWII, Daily Reports: Missing, Dead, Wounded and POWs, 1939-1947 - Fold3 WO 361 Casualities and Missing Personnel 1939-1945 (2172: Prisoners of War, Far East: Allied POW Camps in Thailand; Nominal Rolls) - https://www.fold3.com/sub-image/635141949?terms=1107750,greenway WO 361 Casualities and Missing Personnel 1939-1945 (1987: Prisoners of War, Far East: British, 3 Group, Saigon; Americans, all Groups; British, 4 Group) - https://www.fold3.com/sub-image/635246434?terms=1107750,greenway UK, Exclusive Records of Imperial Prisoners of War Held in Japan, 1939-1945 - GREENWAY, Charles Frederick G in UK, Exclusive Records of Imperial Prisoners of War Held in Japan, 1939-1945 - Fold3 UK, Far East Prisoners of War, 1942-1946 - Greenway, Charles Frederick George in UK, Far East Prisoners of War, 1942-1946 - Fold3 WO 361 Casualities and Missing Personnel 1939-1945 (2068: Prisoners of War, Far East: Parties Transferred Over Seas and Overland from Singapore, 1942) - https://www.fold3.com/sub-image/634937973?terms=1107750,greenway WO 361 Casualities and Missing Personnel 1939-1945 (2169: Prisoners of War, Far East: British Military Personnel, No 4 Group, Singapore; Nominal Roll) - https://www.fold3.com/sub-image/635113831?terms=1107750,greenway WO 361 Casualities and Missing Personnel 1939-1945 (2185: Prisoners of War, Far East: Royal Artillery; Nominal Roll, D-H) - https://www.fold3.com/sub-image/635296624?terms=1107750,greenway WO 392 POW Lists 1943-1945 (24: British Prisoners of War Held in Japan or Japanese-Occupied Territory: E - J) - https://www.fold3.com/sub-image/634601877?terms=1107750,greenway Royal Artillery Attestations - https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBM/ROYALART/1107000/00081&parentid=GBM/ROYALART/86864 Forces War Records POW Story - VJ Day 2023: a prisoner of war story Liberation Questionnaire - Greenway, Charles Frederick George
