SIR - I served in the British Army at Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, and am very interested in contacting other men who also served out there, in the Royal Navy, Army or RAF at any time from late 1945 to 1956.

Since 1992 I have voluntarily represented, in the UK, Professor Takeshi Chida, the official historian of Kure City Council, who seeks information about our time in Japan. The research remains on-going.

I am looking for men from your area who could help with the research.

Anyone who served in Japan at any time from late 1945 to 1956 can call me on 01603 433259 or write to me at the address below.

Wilf Aldridge, 43 Armstrong Road, Thorpe Saint Andrew, Norwich NR7 9LJ.
