"JACK GREENBERG made his acquaintance with the 2/30 Bn
boys up at Shimo Sonkurai Camp on the Burma-Thai Railway in 1943. He and
eight others from a British Ambulance unit marched into our Camp at the
time we were fighting the cholera epidemic. They were quickly grabbed by
Bruce Hunt, who was desperately in need of medical personnel, whilst
JACK and his mates were relieved to reach a "destination", after being
on the road for 3 weeks. They quickly set to work in the dangerous and
arduous work of nursing our cholera patients, and when back in Changi, I
was asked to nominate names for special awards, I remembered JACK, who,
by the way was the only man of the nine to get back to England."
