He became a prisoner of the Japanese in Malaya after the fall of Singapore in 1942. He was imprisoned in the notorious Changi prison, and was forced to work on the Siam-Burma railway along the River Kwai.  Harry made many friends among his fellow prisoners including Ronald Searle. He was also friendly with the Australian author Russell Braddon, then a Gunner in the 2/15th Field (Artillery) Regiment. Braddon later recounted his experiences as a POW in the bestselling memoir, The Naked Island (illustrated by Searle). The book was one of the first to describe in grim detail the appalling treatment the POWs received. Braddon talks about Harry in several places in the book. He records how impressed he was by Harry's knowledge of the stars, production engineering and turbo jet-engines, but the most moving description comes near the end of the book. After completion of the railway line from Bangkok to Rangoon, Braddon describes how he and other survivors were sent by their captors on a long train journey to Kamburi. In this extract Braddon writes: "As I staggered off the train, cramped and ravenous, for we had had no food for two days, I noticed that beside the line ran long rows of huts separated into two areas. In one were white men: in the other black men. Both lots looked shocking. The fence that marked the dividing line between railway and camp was draped with white men only. The natives no longer took any interest in anything. Therein lay the difference. And as I shambled towards this fence, one of the men on the other side crawled under it, dragged me through and greeted me with a warmth I had forgotten existed. It was Harry Witheford. I managed a feeble crack - 'How's your turbo-jet?' I asked - but was a bit overwhelmed. But he, good soul, knew what was required. Leading me firmly round the back of a hut he gave me bananas and boiled eggs - bought on the spot from a Thai - which I devoured frantically lest they vanish. Though I live to be a thousand the warmth of that greeting and the gift of that food after the sterile months of want that had gone before will never leave me." (pp.207-208)Harry survived the war then spent time working in Kenya during the 1950s. He and his family returned to the UK, settling in North Yorkshire. Both Harry and Edna had a long and happy life until their deaths in their mid-nineties

Gen. / 815 ' oil on canvas, unframed 76.5 x 63.5cmFootnote: Born at Hawkstone Hall, Shropshire, the sitter was the 7th son of Sir John Hill, 3rd Bt (1740-1824) and younger brother of Rowland Hill, later 1st Viscount Hill (1772-1842) who succeeded the Duke of Wellington as the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in 1828. Sir Thomas, like his elder brother Rowland, distinguished himself during the Napoleonic Wars and fought in the Battle of Waterloo. He entered the army at the age of seventeen and went on to serve as an aide-de-camp to his brother Rowland, accompanying him to Portugal in 1808. He commanded the 1st Portuguese Regiment and received medals for his involvement in the battles of Salamanca (1812), Vittoria (1813) and the siege of San Sebástian (1813). He was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in the 1st Foot Guards in July 1814. In 1815, at the Battle of Waterloo, he served as an Assistant Adjutant-General under the command of his brother, Lord Hill. In 1825, he was promoted to Colonel and in 1827 he was appointed the Deputy Adjutant-General in Canada by the Duke of Wellington. He married, on 27th July 1821, Anna Maria Shore, daughter of John Shore, 1st Baron Teignmouth, by whom he had six surviving children. In the present portrait, Sir Thomas is depicted in his Portuguese uniform, wearing numerous decorations and medals, including the Portuguese Order of The Tower and Sword (KTS), the Order of the Bath (KCB) which he was awarded in January 1815, the Waterloo Medal, Portuguese Campaign Cross, Portuguese Commander’s Cross, and the Bavarian Military Order of Max Joseph. We are grateful to Christopher Bryant for his assistance in identifying the sitter's uniform and decorations. CONDITIONOil on canvas which has been lined. The lining fabric is thin and transparent and the adhesive used waxy – this allows the original inscription and canvas tax stamp to be visible. The paint layer is in a stable condition overall. Wax appears to have been used in the varnish as well as the lining. Along the right hand edge white cracks have formed in the varnish. There is a light film across the surface, also caused by the varnish, creating a slightly milky appearance to the darker paint passages. Areas of overpaint are fairly well matched to the original.

Selection of snap shot photographs ... Service and release book etc. Distinguished Flying Medal. London Gazette 25th September 1945. This Flight Engineer excellent operational efficiency coupled with a deep and thorough knowledge of his aircraft have gone towards the making of many successful attacks which his crew have completed. His fine team spirit and close co-operation with his Captain have been an inspiration to the whole crew. The energy and cheerfulness with which he went about his duty is worthy of the highest praise. Warrant Officer James Ronald Sigurd Leask was born in Belfast in 1907, his father was killed in the Great War whilst serving with the 5th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers. At the outbreak of WW2 his enlistment was delayed by his reserve occupation serving with the National Fire Service. He was called up for the RAFVR in June 1943 and volunteered for aircrew duties and qualified as a Flight Engineer. After training he was posted to 90 Squadron and flew his first operation a trip to Essen on the 23rd October 1944. A return trip was made two nights later. The log book records 35 missions including Cologne 4 times, Essen twice, Duisberg, Nuremberg, etc. On the 8th December he was detailed for a daylight trip to Duisberg. A near flak burst knocked out the port inner engine and damaged the undercarriage hydraulics. A frantic flight home and the landing gear hand cranked down into position saw the crew land safely back at base. Screened from operations at the end of his tour Leask now promoted to Warrant Officer ended the war with Coastal Command at RAF Pembroke Docks. He died at the age of 76 years in 1983.
