    Changi is still a desolate place, once a prison always a prison. The thousands that died in there during the 3 years of Japaneseicon occupation of the island will never be forgotten.
    Spent some time in and around there as RAF Changi was close by.
    We were at RAF Seletar a much bigger camp split in half with all the facilities you would expect on an RAF camp!!!!
    Like many countries, they wish we had stayed as a nation. I am sure with whats happening in the South China Seas we wish we had too.
    Hongkong/Malaya/Singapore/Borneo/Brunei/Gan/Malta/Maseirah and so many more, all wish we had remained now the dust has settled.
    We cared for a lot of people then, who struggle today to make ends meet!!
    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
