This site has been made possible by the large archive of materials collected by James and Mavis Puthucheary over the last 70 years. The opinions and memories captured in the oral interviews have also be corroborated by third party documents such as those from the British Archives, the British History Museum and the Straits Times.
We are deeply grateful to be able to refer to the important sources of information to provide the context and colour to the other materials provided. In this regard we would like to invite other who were part of James’ life to share with us other photographs and documents that may be in their possession.
Thank you for all your contributions.
