Biography contributed by Alycia Watson

Jack was a friend of Keith Ernest Watson VX50027 (my husband's uncle).

Jack wrote a very kind letter to Keith's parents upon Keith's death, stating he would visit the family on his return and also sending a photograph Keith's original grave. 

Both Jack & Keith were POWs and I am hoping to locate descendants of Jack who survived WW2 as POWs.
