Searching for WW2 service records......

[manicmarcus]

For a John Taylor, Private 6021161 of the Suffolk Regiment.

He is (was) my grandfather in law.

I believe he saw service in Singapore and was captured by the Japanese. He spent time in a POW camp and so say was one of those POW's who built the River Kwai bridge.

I need his service records to find out when he was freed / liberated and when he would have returned home.

If anyone can point me in the right direction then thank you.
