Sgt. Stanley Strange
British Army Loyal North Lancashire Regiment
Stanley Strange was my father-in-law who served in the regular army.
He was captured by the Japanese during the fall of Singapore.
He was in a prisoner of war camp and was then working in the coal mines in Japan.
During his time in the camp he made drawings of his life (which would have cost him his life if discovered) and a book In Defence of Singapore was published.
He survived and was liberated by the Americans and returned home.
