Dear Len,
Glad you are still full of stories, after going back through them I think I have them all now.
A couple here that may interest you,

I am amazed at the number of people who came back from Singapore and they must all have good stories to tell.
Regards Frank.

Dear Len,
Me neither it must be in deep storage. I found it by going to the green list on the left of the page, Scroll down to (READ ABOUT WW2) click on and up comes an array of sites you may not have seen.
Scroll down below the clock face set out and you get some lists.
Go to Stories by Global Regions and click on Asia.
You will find most of your stories on there plus some others worth the reading.
Nice to hear from you Len and I hope you have fun looking at those sites.
Regards Frank.

Dear Frank,
Many thanks for your advice. I did eventually find the sites you referred to, with difficullty, because they have reorganised the WW2 History site. There is now no L/H green column, nor clockface.

You had me lost there for a minute Len but I realised what had happened.
Easy way in;
Go to your own personal page.
Read down a couple of lines and you get too:
And we began Infantry Training at WEETING HALL Brandon.
Look left from WEEting and you will find (READ ABOUT WW2) click on and up comes everything including clock face effect; at Six o Clock you will find lists of country's click on Asia.
It takes a lot longer to explain than to do it.
Its all this computer training I am doing Len, they teach me how to load and fire it next week now I know all the IA's. I think I am only allowed to fire blanks these days though.
Regards Frank.

Len,
It is not a trouble to help where I can, we are not all experts on the computer and I had to be shown the way around the site by others. It pleases me that I can take the time to help out where required and if I dont know I know a man who does, hang on in there Peter. so now you know Len.
Regards Frank.
