    I wonder if anyone has information on Agnes Weir (nee` Astle), her husband had been posted to Singapore and she accompanied him. She was captured at the fall of Singapore in 1942 and sent to a camp where she died in July 1945. As far as I know she is buried in Ereveld Kalibanteng Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia
    Agnes was born and brought up in Aston upon Trent.
