A relative of mine was a POW after being captured in Singapore on 15th Feb 1942 and he wasn't liberated until 2nd Sept 1945. Like many he didn't discuss his time there but I would like to know which camps he was at. I have found the liberation report here, but I cannot make out the writing. Does anyone know which camps these relate to? The first was Changi but after that I'm stuck. Lapthorne, Robert Herries – COFEPOW (lq-cofepow.org) His name was Robert Herries Lapthorne, Lance Corporal in the 18th Division RAOC, No. 7622118
