FLYING OFFICER CHARLES EDWARDS : Following an earlier request (Escape from Singapore, 7/8), the writer hopes to hear from anyone who has information about her father's time in the air force serving in intelligence in the latter part of 1945-1946 and especially in Borneo where he served for eight months after the war. FO Charles Patrick EDWARDS and others left Darwin for Labuan, Borneo, on January 22,1946 and was believed to have been discharged at the end of 1946. He was probably chosen because of his expertise in the jungle and his fluent Malay. Charles died in 1952 and never spoke of the hundreds of photographs of human bones and ID tags in small woven baskets and the aerial photographs of dense jungle that were found in his wardrobe after his death. The RAAF in Melbourne took possession of the photos soon after his funeral, but the question remains as to who took the photos, what was her father doing with them and what were his duties during 1942-1945? Charles joined the RAAF about November 1942 and had two service numbers — 125074 plus another on Wings - 112128.

Anyone researching the BETTS family? Richard BETTS & wife Elizabeth (nee RUSSELL) & children Charles,Richard,Susan ,James & John ,arrived WA in 1830 on the ship "Rockingham". Richard 2nd married Elizabeth NIXON (nee MORROW) & had son John. Lived in Guildford & Toodyay area.Looking for contact with descendents. Kerri

Does anybody have a John W ROBINSON in their tree or database? I am researching a Margaret Catherine BRENTON, who was born in Comaum (near Penola) in South Australia in 1892, married her first cousin once removed Emanuel Murdoch LAMOND in Perth in 1919, and after his death in 1934, married this John W ROBINSON in East Coolgardie in 1934. I lose track of this couple from that point, although I have come across some possibilities for John. They would surely be deceased by now. In the WWII Nominal Roll, there is a John William ROBINSON with a NOK Margaret ROBINSON, who was living in Kalgoorlie at the time of his enlistment in 1942. He was born in 1907 in Mullewa (Geraldton district), so if this one is the husband of Margaret nee BRENTON, he would have been 15 years younger than her. In the WA Post Office Directories there is a John W ROBINSON living in Kalgoorlie at Porter St in 1939 & 1940, and then at Egan St in 1949 - could these be him? There were other John W ROBINSONs around the same time, who lived in Leederville, Fremantle and Guildford, so I need to sort out who was who. According to the WA Reverse Marriages, there was only one John Robinson who married a woman with the first name Margaret, which is the couple in question. In the WA BDM index there is a John William ROBINSON born in Kalgoorlie in 1896 to Thomas Valentin ROBINSON and Ellen DWYER. This is also a possibility. So in essence, I would like to hear from anyone with a John W ROBINSON in their tree, even just to rule a possibilty out. I am also interested in the surnames BRENTON, LAMOND, GRAY and in relation to these, PLUMMER, CASSELLS, WOOD and FORD. >From a wet & miserable Sydney Michelle Giza-Vink

This year there will be an additional Special Quiet Lion tour while a film crew put the finishing touches to a documentary they have been making since 1987. The tour will run from November 26 until December 7. Cost for twin-share adults is $2300 (but less for juniors). The ex-POWs bill it as: "The story of a hero which teaches you how to be one." But add: "Conditions apply." Those on the tour will learn from people who were there the reason that Weary DUNLOP was "the King of the River". They will visit campsites where he invigorated moribund and apathetic administrations and persuaded officers to donate part of their pay to provide special diets for sick and dying men denied regular rations by their captors. They will also meet some of the 58 young Thai surgeons who have worked with Australian mentors since the ex-POWs initiated the Weary Dunlop-Boonpong Exchange Fellowship in Perth in 1986.
