the Chinese after a spell in a tough POW camp. By memory, he was an Army driver, and lived in the Highfield Road area, and no doubt somebody will be able to recall what hap­ pened to this brave man. Perhaps it is a search the Advertiser and Times could address. As i t happens, mention of the Korean con­ flict comes into the story of my book, and an anecdote of Sydney may well be


recorded.Unknown and unrecord-
