 I knew Myerscough from the old days, and watched his promotion from being L/Cpl and post corporal to staff sergeant in C company, We always called him Bill, I don’t know why. His promotion to CSM came as a war substantive promotion, that was when all SNCO’s went up a notch. In Singapore he was based at Telok Paku on the north Changi beach head, A happy go lucky lad. I remember him around July/August 1943 when I was with a small group working in Conquita, apparently we were the misfits of Chungkai. The Japs allowed us to have a yasme (Rest) day for some reason, and although we were only a small group we had a bit of a sing song. I remember distinctly Bill Myerscough, a blond haired lad. He stood up and sang “ Overhead the moon is gleaming.” He was very good too, that was the same night that Frank Bailey and Macdonell set fire to the Jap supply store.
Bill was cremated and I sounded the last post at his funeral in Chungkai." from Arthur Lane
