William Alfred Randale Foster is remembered on Tollerton’s war memorial. He was an Aircraftsman Ist Class with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. A married man, he lived on Medina Drive before joining up shortly after the start of the war. He was posted to the Far East where he was reported to be missing. It appears that the area where he was based was overrun by the Japanese in 1942 and was the location of a prisoner of war camp. William is honoured at the Kranji War Cemetery (Singapore Memorial).
Doug Frampton visited Kranji Cemetery Singapore several years ago. He and his wife went to the cemetery to pay their respects. He does not have a grave and was one of the 24,000 who are listed on the roll of honour. Doug located his name and took photos of it along with some of the cemetery.
Our thanks go to Doug and his wife for sharing this experience with us.
