That is an excellent story, Tony. Well done with the research.
I would like to find out which of the 170 Australian delivered Ford Lynx Canadian Scout Cars went to Japan. I haven't been able to differentiate between those which stayed in OZ and those which went to Japan. Mike C. tells me that all were returned to OZ but that doesn't say which ones went. I have the AWM126 pages but no Japan links there.

Anyway well done. Looking forward to more.

Regards Rick.

Default More information

Hi all

To those of you who have been following the story of the Boozers Club by members of the BCOF Japan. I wish to advise that I have made contact with the son of Cpl Ron Holden who was a room mate of Cpl Noel Whiting the only surviving member of the group I interviewed in 2013. Ron would now be 89 years old and hopefully still with us.

Cpl Ron Holden's son has supplied me with a lot of his dad's story and a number of black and white photographs taken by his father of his time in Japan. There is also a good photo of the Boozers Committee all lined up at the bar. I will now go ahead and update my original story in the Nasho News Magazine and include some photographs.

Mike Cecil, How do I contact you as I wish to discuss some matter of the story with you.

Cheers

Tony
