LAC F.N Roberts enlisted at Padgate and joined between September 1939 and February 1940. He served in India (182 Wing), Burma (67 Sqn), Malaya (136 Sqn) and Singapore (615 Sqn). His membership records for the Burma Star Association are available online. 182 Wing, headquartered in Bengal, had overall responsibility for the listed Squadrons. No. 67 Squadron, flying Hurricanes, was based at various locations before disbanding at Akyab, Burma, on 14 May 1945. No. 136 Squadron, equipped with Spitfires, also operated from several airfields before relocating to Singapore in October 1945, moving again the following month. No. 615 Squadron, also flying Spitfires, was disbanded at Vizagapatam, India, on 25 September 1945. Based on this information, it is likely that he arrived in Singapore with No. 136 Squadron in October 1945, and remained there after the disbandment of No. 615 Squadron.
