Sgt. Joseph Tamlyn Staddon

British Army 4th Btn. Royal Norfolk Regiment

from:Islington, London

Joseph Staddon on leave Oct 1941

My father, Joseph Staddon, served in the Far East and was captured in Singapore. He was then put in to the forced labor group no. 4 to build railways (Death Railway) from Wang Pho to Kinsaiyok. He was one of the lucky ones, surviving three and a half years of unspeakable treatment and conditions to make it back to his home and family in London and Devon and soon after moving to Toronto, Canada starting a very successful business. Those POW years were never forgotten and in his latter years, struggling with dementia, he often thought he was still in Japanese captivity.
