Re: Oswestry,Tonfanau,Malta and Tripoli.1955-57.
I joined Boys Battery with Straker in 1946. We served in Hong Kong together until he left to apply for a commission, while I declined the opportunity. I can assure you Straker was a liar, a thief and a cheat. I know he gave the impression of being a decent guy, but decent is a word of which he never had any knowledge. I could give examples of his cheating from his buddies and also theft from myself and others. He would give you his last cigarette, but beware, he would then be after something of greater value from you in return. He also mistreated his wife. Straker was a past master at deception and could con a blind man out of his seeing eye dog. Sorry to give you this bad news John, but I knew him for what he was. Regards, Val "Ginge" Jenkins.
