    Looking for information on William Martin (born 1917) who was in the Gordon Highlanders.

    He was taken prisoner whilst in Singapore.

    All I know is he was in the far east, so looking for where he was likely a POW, when joined army, when repatriated etc

    Possible service nos 2876659, S/5059, 2876659 or 3318867
