Info: Australian? Allied Unit, (886) John Landels McKendrick, Johore Volunteer Engineers (Singapore) Any information would be appreciated. Need assistance on Who/Where/What/How for this man who is on the Australian Commemorative Roll which is for those "Australians" who died in other Allied Services. If proved not to be "Australian" their names will not be removed from the Commemorative Roll however their details will be updated accordingly. I have researched the Air Force members but there are many more Land and Sea deaths in a myriad of different forces. There is not a lot of information on these people that can be accessed easily and I ask your assistance to fill in at least some of the gaps. Hopefully some relatives may see this thread and add more. I will make a different thread for each along the way as they may tend to get lost if clumped together. Commemorative Roll - John Landels McKendrick Service number: 886 Rank: Sapper Unit: Johore Volunteer Engineers (Singapore) Service: Johore State Forces Conflict: 1939-1945 Date of death: 3 September 1943 Place of death: Kamburi Cemetery or memorial details: Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, Thailand
CWGC - Son of John Maclellan McKendrick and Janet Robson McKendrick; husband of Phoebe Denziel McKendrick, of Maida Vale, Western Australia. His wife must have moved to Melbourne to have the baby, I presume that he never got to see his son.
