Hi Betty,
I couldn't get the link to work to look at the 2/4 page. Attached is a photo
taken at the end of the war in Japan of some of the J Force survivors before
they were returned home. My husbands uncle Mick McBride is first on left front
row. He was sent to Japan after surviving the Burma Railway and was at the
Ohama 9B coal mine. Also attached is a list of names of those in the photo,
some 2/4 men's names aren't known, perhaps your dad may be one of them? Another
of my husbands uncles was in the 2/4 but unfortunately was sent to Sandakan and
was one of the two and a half thousand young men murdered there. Lest we forget.
