MaxD thanks for links . As you said earlier , not many records digatalised. ! ah well ......have to go on my" TO DO" list.
 What about casualty and POW records for this theatre /dutch east indies ,singapore, hongkong for this period. 1941- 43 ?

As far as I know the basic record is various courses, postings, promotions, etc. but without personal details (name of Nok, address, previous occupation, date of birth, religion....think that's it!).
Going on what was released for my late uncle's RAF service......away from my files at the moment.

Hope that helps!

Nanny jan thanks for that.
 Would you or anyone else know of any on line resources for POWs and casualties in the far east?

[nanny jan]

Have you tried FEPOW?

CWGC has info from the far east;  I have a distant cousin buried in Myanmar.

For the avoidance of doubt, as indicated by MaxD if the person concerned died more then 25 years ago then the full record is available to anyone who cares to apply subject to proof of death (not necessary if subject died in service) and payment of £30.

Thanks Imber; I was both emailed and telephoned by the Army disclosures department asking if I was acting for n-o-k and was given different information by them but as I have other paperwork I'll not go back to them.......but will remember for the future!

IMBER thanks for info on applying for records.
Nanny jan ,thanks for FePow,
 Interesting and Some good links. Still looking through links .
    Ref. CWGC ,yes already  have  info from them . Person I'm researching buried at Sai wan cem on Hong Kong island . But thanks for that .
I'm just trying to find out what happend to him .
Looks as if two troops from 89 baty were sent to java. Possibly to defend two airstrips !?? He could have been in one of  these troops ?? . As the japs invaded troops fought as infantry untill surrender.  Circa March 1942  ?? 
The DOD I have is Nov. 1942 so, he must have been a POW of Japs ,though as yet don't know any more !
