From Andrew Snow - Thailand Burma Railwat centre:-
Stanley is not on the Letter Party ‘L’ Roll so I suspect he may have been on the 7/11/1942 with Lt. Col. Flower and worked on the Railway with Lt. Col. Flower, Major Coles and Major Lees track laying. Other things support this view but I have nothing to prove this.
