COFEPOW member Julie Weller writes:- Below is a picture of my Father's section of his regiment, The Duke of Wellingtons, which he enlisted into. He was at the fall of Singapore and was put to work on the Death Railway. He was attached to the Sherwood Foresters and with the help of his fellow prisoners he survived to come home.
Sadly my Father died September 13th 2008 aged 92 and for many years suffered from ill health as a result of his treatment by the Japanese. I would love to hear from anybody who knew my Father, his name was Frederick Martin and he came from Ponders End, Enfield, Middlesex.
My father is the first soldier seated on the bottom row on the right hand side of the picture
He is commemorated on a paviour beside the Far Eastern Prisoner of War Memorial Building, at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, Staffordshire.
