[QUOTE="Bamboo43, post: 43382, member: 417"] Hi Mel, I was very pleased to see your post, I can tell you that William belonged to column 8 in 1943 and died just after what is known as the Kaukkwe Chaung incident. Column 8 had just taken a full air supply drop on the 24/25 April and some of the very lucky men had been flown out in a Dakota that had managed to land in a jungle clearing. William and the others knew that they would have to walk out the rest of the way. They were crossing a very deep and fast flowing river (Kaukkwe) when a Japanese patrol caught up with them. Many men were killed on or about April 30/ May 1st. I have something more for you and in about 8 weeks hoping to launch a website in honour of these men. Steve [/QUOTE]
