Hi Can anyone help me with the name of the POW camp on the attached, from January to April 1944. Looks like Canbrui no 3? Thanks Steve
Hello Steve, my best guess is that it's referring to one of the Kan'buri camps. Good luck with your searching. Kind regards, always, Jim.
Possibilities here; Advanced Search | Australian War Memorial So many different/derivative/ spellings as ever with FEPOW camps. Again, good luck with chasing it down. Kind regards, always, Jim.
Gnr E A Raymond was one of the Party of POWs from Padang known as the British Sumatra Battalion. 85 A/T Regt were not in Sumatra so it is most likely he escaped from Singapore and had made his way to Padang hoping to find a ship.
