I remember reading about a book (?) about a man who served in the singapore police before wwII, then at out break of war who moved to the uk where he taught un-armed combat and self defence to SOE etc Can anyone shed any light on the person and or book please!
I did see a very similar character in an episode of Foyles War. Would be fascinating to find out if it was based on a real character. When did you read the book?
