It is 70 years since the fall of Singapore, my avatar is my uncle Lance Sargeant Jack Briggs of the 2/4th Australian machine gun battalion. He was one of 15000 Australian pow's taken in Singapore, his brother Roy was another. Roy survived the brutality of the Japanese however Jack did not, he died in September 1943 as a slave labourer on the Burma railway like so many others. He was only 27.
