Wonderful story Tony, well done on tracking down Noel Whiting and solving "The riddle of the 10 yen note"! I'm sure he was surprised to see it again after almost 70 years! Hopefully it brought back memories of good times with the "Boozer's Committee", sad to hear they're no longer with us.

I gather BCOF Japan vets have been fighting for recognition/entitlements for years, but successive govts have been doing the usual thing - stalling until they all fall off the perch. Your efforts will ensure they at least get some audience amongst people who care. It occurs to me you may even get some interest from mainstream media, it's the kind of human interest story they often go for. Anyway I look forward to reading your article eventually.

Cheers,
Tony
