Recollections of WW2 by Allen Godfrey Jones 4th Anti Tank
written 1947
My father had a little leather bound pocket book. This is what he wrote in it after the war.I am surprised and grateful he made it out alive. I have typed the following from his original handwriting so I may have made errors in transcribing the words especially the Japanese ones.

From my cousin
"Mum told me that Uncle Peter had a
head injury when he was a POW. Apparently on one occasion he was given
an order by a guard and when he was slow to react the guard raised his rifle
butt to bash him. Your Father stopped him from doing this and everyone
was amazed that they were both not killed as a result"

"Hi Kathryn,
You have done such a beautiful, organized presentation that you are an
inspiration for me to write a web page for my parents.
I sent your first link to the Red Horse list, my husband's AirForce
engineering unit (VietNam era) and your pages received praise.
Unfortunately, I thoughtlessly deleted them before I thought that you should
have received them and would have appreciated all the vets who said your
pages were a wonderful tribute to your father.
