I am trying to find anything about my step uncle, William G Gass (SX10424) of the 4th reserve motor transport company, PoW of the Japanese 1942-45. He has long passed away but family lore has it that he was on the Thai Burma railway at some stage. I know nothing about wherehe was and what he did whilst a PoW. I would love to hear from anyone who has come across his name.

My brother, JACK NELSON FOREMAN (QX14809) Bombardier 2/10 Field Regiment, was a casualty on the railway. He is buried at the THANBYUZAYAT WAR CEMETERY Grave/Memorial Ref. Sp. Mem. A13. A. 20 . He was with F Force. He was from Bundaberg and Brisbane. I’m interested to know if anyone remembers him. He died before I was born and I’m interested to find out what he was like.

I am trying find any information I can about my Uncle Claude Walter Bailey. He originated from South Australia, served as Gunner with the: 2/1 Heavy Battery (Coastal Unit), Service Number SX13242. He was taken prisoner on Timor and died on the way to Japan on the ‘Hell Ship’ Tamahoko Maru. Thank you for the great website.

Had a great time on the 2007 tour. Thanks to all the POWs, teachers and everyone who helped to make it so great. Would love to keep in contact with anyone from the tour, so email me 😀

Now that we are back on line we welcome your comments and enquiries

Finally, a damn good accurate site on the BTR congratulations!!!!

thanks to my cousin neil macpherson from west australia for all the information on this website,my brother died in 1942 on the burma railway laid to rest at thambuyacat cemetary served with 2nd gordons

Sites such as this are invaluable. Neil MacPherson has been a source of great encouragement to me in finally completing work on compiling and editing Mick McCarthys Diary. Mick and Neil served on the railway together from the 35 kilo camp on, to the end of the war. Mick willingly participated in the work until his death in 1995 so that we could understand part of our history – an objective in common withthe BTRMA Inc. Congratulations on a wonderful project to all of you who have contributed. Tony.

Simply an outstanding site. We are very proud to add direct links to your wonderful site. It is because of you and your fellow POWS that we strive to document every camp. You have shown how it SHOULD be done. Again, congratulations on a job well done.

Very interesting site. If any ex-POWs remembered David Rintoul or John Godber, would love to hear from them.
