Photos from Photobucket to PRUNE

Hope I've succeeded! Clicking 'insert images' does nothing but I noticed on one of your help replies the photo URL starts with square bracket IMG square bracket and ends similarly. Tried this and then 'preview post' and lo and behold the picture appeared. Let's try it.

Hopefully this is a photo of HMS Attacker entering Singapore Harbour a few days after the Japanese surrender.



As far as I know only three of us went ashore. We were each issued with webbing and a revolver. We decided to walk up to the Raffles Hotel and imbibe in liquid refreshment. Very intimidating, as we walked along there were Japanese soldiers walking around apparently unsupervised. Across the road two Japanese were digging with pick axes. One soldier kneeled down and the other drove his pick axe through his mates back. WE BEAT A HASTY RETREAT BACK TO THE ATTACKER!!

Now I will try preview post, hope and reply
