Asghar Ali

Added information supplied by Tony Banham:-

Unfortunately we have not yet been able to find any official nominal rolls of the HKSRA POWs in Hong Kong. However, I can confirm that your late father is listed in Appendix 7 of Charles Barman’s book ‘Resist to the End’ in the list entitled ‘Nominal Roll of Indian Prisoners of 1st HKSRA Regiment at North Point Camp as of 21 March 1942’. Barman was a Battery Quarter Master Sergeant in the regiment.
