Transcription
My twin brother was in "D" Company, and I was on more or less it was a road block that we were guarding and a ammunition and oil dump at Wan Chai Gap. And I was on guard duty this one day and, or one evening I guess it would be, I heard a, an awful rattling and noise coming down the road and my sentry called me out and I went out with the sentry and we yelled the usual, "Halt, who goes there!" etcetera and I find out that it's members of D Company who are coming, they'd been pushed out of Wong Nei Chong Gap. This was the night that our brigade, Brigadier was killed, our Brigade Major and also Captain Bowman. The five members who had broken out of Wong Nei Chong Gap, my brother was one of them, George Harrison was another, and I forget who the other three were. My brother was slightly wounded in, on the cheek from shrapnel but we had quite a reunion that night.
