Ray Munday had more fortunate
experiences of the war in the Pacific
than many of his comrades.
While serving in the Royal Navy, he was
due to be sent to the Far East on the
day war ended.
His previous ship, HMS Hussar, had been
sunk by mistake by friendly aircraft
after he had been drafted to serve
aboard a new vessel.
Bofors gunner D Madden spent his shore
leave helping British PoWs who had been
freed in Malaya. He remembers the lack
of amenities but says the situation
gradually improved.
