Donald Sung served in the Second World War in a special, clandestine unit called Force 136.<\/p>\n

We don’t know much about Sung,\u00a0but we do know he was sent to India after his basic training. There he learned commando style warfare and jungle survival techniques.<\/p>\n

He was accompanied to India by his cousin, Young Ming (James) Wong<\/a>. As Force 136 members, they\u00a0chummed around together and took the photos below during a break from training in India.<\/p>\n

We understand Sung rose to the rank of Regimental Sargent Major. Unfortunately, he died relatively\u00a0young.<\/p>\n

If you have any further information about Donald Sung and his war service, please contact our museum at info@ccmms.ca.<\/p>\n
