Biography contributed by Carrie Henderson

"Sgt. Alldis was a Prisoner of War in the Japanese hands from Feb. 42 to Aug 45. From May 44 to Aug 45 he maintained and operated, alone, a secret wireless receiving set in Changi Camp Singapore. To operate a receiver under the Japanese administration he would have been executed or imprisioned for a long period. The provision of our news bullietins to the personnel of Changi camp had a big effect on their morale particularly as a large number of the personnel of Ghangi were sick."
