Hello, Joy, Many thanks for respondimg to my e mail, but I hope I didn't write it in such a way that I offended you - that is the last thing I wanted to do. I think my frustration is purely personal - my poor old dad (his mother was a Mary Anne Ford born in Paddington in London in 1889) was brought up in a very, very poor part of London and when he was 14, enlisted in the Army where he stayed until 1976 (a very long service), during which he was a Japanese Prisoner of War, a Korean POW, etc, but it seems so awful that his life and family just seems to have vanished into space... I also kow that if if wasn't for the US, we probably wouldnt even have the opportunity to go this farback. So please dont think that I am knocking the system - I just want my dad and his family to be recognised in some way.

Dear Barbara, Your father was an honorable man in his own right the way I see it.

Is there any kind of web site for pensions, or for prisoner of war people? It seems like there would be somewhere. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: jvford5 [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 4:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Re: [Ford] Re: Ford family Middlesex UK Dear Barbara, Your father was an honorable man in his own right the way I see it.
