We are always looking for tales of our forebears and unusual titbits from our heritage. Quite recently, the family of a WW2 RAMC soldier from York, Jack Wood - their late father, has digitised and put on-line a fascinating collection of stories and documents, compiled during his captivity in Changi Jail.
He joined the RAMC as a Territorial in 1939 and was serving at Singapore in a military hospital when the Japanese captured it in 1942. He survived the War and later became Lord Mayor of York.
The link below will take you direct to the collection, it is an eclectic mix of material and far beyond military content managed in five volumes.
