Thanks for checking Cliff; unlike the other guys I've been researching John Mahoney (who fought in WW2) was someone I knew very well. He died when I was 30 and was an incredible guy; changhi and the railway and i never heard him once say anything against his captors; "no point being bitter; i have a lovely family and that's what's important". Never known anyone to forgive like him. Thanks for the research, even if you haven't got anything on my guy the job you chaps do is fantastic. Much appreciated.
