In the early 1990’s I developed a friendship with Maurice Rooney who was a FEPOW living within 20 miles from me at Norwich. From our chats on the phone and emails we put together his story ‘Brothers in Arms’ and he let me have an audio recording which he made in 1991. I miss our chats, especially when I lost my own father in 2001, Maurice helped soothe the loss and the pain of losing the COFEPOW site in the same year. Maurice died 2002. During the following years I lost the web site pages (nod) as my computer went down. Just recently I started putting his story together again, mainly for the book I am writing, but also believe Maurice would like it placed within ‘Far Eastern Heroes’ for all to read and listen to as originally intended. I must admit I did get choked up when it was completed and I read through it and listened to his recording.
This is his story ‘Brothers in Arms’ which does hold my copyright:-
