Frank "Red" Daniels 27th Field Regiment Royal Artillery Uncle Frank Daniels never talked too much about WW2 but I always remember him as a fun guy who loved his family.
I have tried to research him with no luck to date but I have just started recently.

W/Sgt. Osborne Ronald Allan 27th Field Regiment My father, Ron Allan, served in the Royal Artillery and the Royal Signals.
We have only found out recently that he was in India and Burma during 1945 and my cousin informed me that my father had told his brother he was in Changi but never told his own family (wife and children). We are not sure if he was a POW or part of the relief personnel that liberated POW's. We are also not sure if he encountered fighting while in Burma.
We have his army records but there is minimum information on them and it has so much code it is difficult to make sense of. We have only just started to look at the history so we are unaware of most avenues of information.
My father went to India, being at Bombay on the 2nd of April 1945 and transferred to India Command. On 1st of June 1945 he came under ALFSEA (Allied Land Forces South East Asia) at this point he was granted the War Sevice rank of Sergeant with immediate effect. On 13th of October he was posted to 34 Battery of 27th Field Regiment, Royal Artillery, from 31 Battery. On 27th of October 1945 he was granted aaa pay as A1 ?ligo @ RO W/o pm ?? (not sure that is what is written or what it means). On 25th of January 1946 he was granted add pay at Rs 6 shillings per measum for the period 29th Dec to 25th Jan 46 to no 4 Brit transit camp for 28 days. On 21st of Feb 46 he was recorded SOSX/8A on Embarkment from Rangoon for UK.
