Hi, yea I have seen that photograph from the COFEPOW site. The article you have sent is very interesting so thanks for that. My plan for the future is to visit the the imperial war museum and speak with staff. I am also going to visit the Royal artillery museum in the near future. I am also starting to look now on the 234th and you have answered one of my questions, they were obviously trained in search light duties etc. It's all very interesting stuff. I will keep you updated if I find out anything else. One thing I have been told is that you can request divisional operational orders for regiments, in relation to what there operational objectives were in a particular area ie my grandfathers case Java. I have read reports this was a political and military disaster with the islands never going to be held, but this was to slow the advance on Australia by the Japanese. Do you have any idea if such records are held ? And where would I look. I know it's a long shot but you seem quite knowledgeable with this type of stuff. I have looked on the web but not much coming up. This will obviously be all archived material. Thanks
Paul.
