| A MEMBER of the Royal
Naval Association's Enfield branch, George Bristow, is
a former Far East prisoner of war who is campaigning to
secure compensation for survivors of the Japanese camps.
George (79), who was a stoker mechanic in the Royal Navy,
almost died through ill-treatment after being captured
in Hong Kong when the Japanese invaded in 1941. He still
suffers from the effects of the treatment meted out to
him. Now he does all he can to promote the Royal British
Legion's compensation campaign. Anyone wishing to support
the campaign should write to: The Royal British Legion,
48 Pall Mall, London SW1Y 5JY. |
