Clipped Signature - Richard Wilding. An officer in the Territorial Army, he was posted to the 77th Indian Infantry Brigade and took part in Operation Longcloth in February 1943. After a month trying to evacuate to India, he and the 27 others with him were captured by the Japanese. He spent 2 years in Rangoon Gaol, where only 5 of his party survived, before liberation in 1945. He was a solicitor post-war, retiring in 1972. He died in 1996. Please note that this particular signature has been written in pen - not in pencil like most of our signatures. |
