These Byde's are listed as American: Eric John Byde, born 1897, salesman (father) Anita Luise Byde, born 1938, child (daughter) John Douglas Byde, born 1940, child (son) This Byde is listed as British: Jessie Bonnie Byde, born 1912, housewife. February 17, 2006 Dear Tom, I am John Byde, from the family you have listed as being in Santo Tomas during the war. I was amazed to see our family. As of now there are only my sister, Ann and myself, however we have multiple children and grand children. I am retired and live in Cambria, California and my sister Ann is in Wisconsin. Dad died at 66 but Mom lived on until 87. I guess that's the British in her. My Mother left a diary of the camp that I have been tempted to make into a book. This was a letter to her mother in Australia made during the internment. It wouldn't be a very big book but it is interesting. She was quite a good writer. If you have any information or would like to add this please let me know. Also include me on your e-mail list. Thank you, John D. Byde E-mail jsbyde@charter.net  or if you would like to be added to my POW/Internee e-mail distribution list, please let the me, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
