    I'm the author of The Guns of Muschu. (pub Allen and UNwin 2006) Spencer Walklate was in Z Special and went missing in April 1945 during a raid on Muschu ISland off New Guinea.
    see www.gunsofmuschu.com

    We believe we've determined that he was captured and executed by the Japanese (info on website) We're seeking any more info or known relatives to inform them. Also photos of Walklate

    I can be contacted by return email

    Thanks

    Don Dennis
