Pte. Thomas Alfred Garraway
British Army 18th Btn. Recce Corps
from:Walthamstow
Thomas Garraway joined the North Lancs Regiment 5th Battalion, which in 1941 was renamed the 18th Recce Corps. After some training he proceeded to North Africa via South Africa. Whilst they were in Simonstown they received further orders directing them to Singapore where they were just in time for the Battle of Singapore. Following the surrender of Singapore, Thomas Garraway became a Prisoner of War until 1945. The rest of his story is still being researched - I will post it when complete.
