I am trying to trace relatives of Capt Green, No8 Cdo & 2nd Special Service Detachment who, along with Corporal Frederick Charles Goode, Private William Bland and Sergeant John Francis Friend, was one of only 5 known survivors of the 100 officers and men who formed Middle East Detachment 2 [subsequently 2nd Special Service Detachment (SSD 2)], based, in late 1941, at the Bush Warfare School in Maymyo (Pyin-U-Lwin), Burma (Myanmar); under Lieutenant Colonel Henry Courtney Brocklehurst, 135896, for training for 204 British Military Mission to China.

Capt Green, Adjt of SSD2, was leading a group of SSD2 through the Burmese jungle when he was captured by the Japanese, having being betrayed by Burmese villagers near the India/Burma border in the small village of Sadon, and spent time as a PoW in Rangoon along with Cpl Fred Goode
