SINGAPORE: In a letter dated Apr 20, 1945, a woman named Florence Duncan professed her steadfast love for her husband, John Sharp Duncan, after he was captured when Singapore fell to the Japanese.
They had only been married for a year, but she wrote that it was another birthday since their separation and she missed him.
