Probus member Dan Brad­ bury was welcomed to the lectern when he talked to Clitheroe and District Probus Club about his father’s expe­ riences leading up to his cap­ ture in 1942 in Rangoon by the Japanese, and his homecom­ ing to Colne in 1945 at the end of the war. Dan’s father, a chief mo­ tor mechanic, and so perhaps


seenbytheenemyasacivilian, ■ was allowed a certain latitude in that he went to the Roman Catholic cathedral every Sun­ day, and was allowed very re­ stricted letters home via the Japanese Red Cross. Towards the end of the war he was moved to Changi


jail where the Japanese mili­ tary detained about 3,000 ci­ vilians. Postcards from there


were the only mail allowed, the cards carding permitted phrases against which the prisoners put a tick in order to select them. His eventual homecom­


ing was almost an anticlimax. Coming out of church into the winter snow in Colne, 1945, Dan, then an eight-year-old al­ tar boy was struck by a snow­ ball - his dad was home.
