This Web Site is fondly dedicated to my maternal grandfather, George Edward Kingston Prior, a member of the Singapore Volunteer Corps (whose image is shown at a separate page) and his dedicated wife, Florence (Moses), who in spite of the adversities they encountered, were able to provide a decent and loving life for their children, and grandchildren.
