SIR: "Fight On" - Winston Churchill said. We will never surrender and I am absolutely sure those ex-PoWs from the Far East will do exactly that. And as an ex-serviceman who fought on the Western Front myself, I, along with thousands of other war veterans, will all throw our caps in the ring in support of these forgotten heroes.
Soldier on comrades - one for all and all for one.
Mr P Haggerty MM,
Campbell Walk,
Farnworth.
