Kev – again off topic – a friend of the family (family name Weir) – his father died in the defence of Hong Kong.

Many years later my father was in the Merchant Navy in Hong Kong – in harbour a local fell into the sea alongside the ship. No-one seemed to be doing anything -so my father jumped in and pulled him out. For years after every time one of the fleets ships came into port this local used to come down to see if my father was on board and if he was would come aboard and offer his services for any task in return for being saved years before.

Tiring of this – my father gave him the task of finding Mr Weirs grave in Hong Kong and putting flowers etc.. As far as we know he is still doing it.
