Tom Malloch Buchanan died 10 June 1948
Tom Buchanan was a friend of my late father-in-law, who was a PoW in Java. They either met whilst in the camp or at Bara. I would like to try and contact Tom's relatives as they may be interested in a number of letters written from Tom to my father-in-law Ronald Frank Pettitt when Tom was moved to East Kilbride to recuperate. I also have a condolence note written from another ex-PoW written to Ron following Tom's death.
If you can track the relatives (Alex Kean?) I would be very happy to send him scanned copies of these letters. Tom's personality shines through these letters and they give a good insight into their illnesses.
