Sig. Robert Roy
British Army 28 Wing Section Royal Signals
from:Northampton
(d.30th August 1945)
Robert Roy was my uncle. But, sadly I never met him and my Dad never spoke of him much. Whilst trying to research my Dad's service history in the Royal Marines I decided to look for Robert and was very pleased to find his name on the Kranji War Memorial list. My son visited Singapore a few years ago and took a very moving picture whilst he sat looking at the monument.
In March this year I am going to Singapore to see the memorial and also to Burma where I believe Robert served and was captured by the Japanese and ended up dying in Changi Prison.
